  "account": "In an era dominated by speed and efficiency, the value of reading remains a matter of question. People, including children, seek enjoyment in reading for the sheer pleasure of it. However, there is more to reading than just entertainment. French intellectual Antoine de Saint-Exupéry argues that literature, like culture in general, holds value that goes beyond immediate utility. He believes that the benefits of reading are long-term investments, paying off in the distant future. In a world increasingly governed by AI, which champions speed over all else, the value of slow reading becomes a matter of choice. While AI may expedite tasks like coding, summarizing, and writing, the creative process of a writer cannot be rushed. Artists must cultivate their abilities through reading and writing slowly, investing time in their craft much like their predecessors did. Even with AI's advancements, the demand for slow reading remains crucial for those who wish to deepen their understanding through literature and introspection. In a world inundated with AI-generated content, the power to shape our own values and achieve personal growth remains in the hands of those who read and write deliberately. Beyond serving as a tool to discern the world, literature offers readers the ability to step outside their own limitations and experience life from a different perspective. It challenges us to question our existing knowledge and consider alternative paths, opening up new opportunities. Ultimately, literature rewards those who are willing to wait, offering invaluable returns that accumulate over time.",
