The Thing I Do Insistently

I'm now at my late 20s. Looking back at my short life, I haven't achived much. By no means am I to complain my sore life here. What I want to tell you, is during even the hardest times, I never thought about giving up one certain thing — reading. The power of reading is exponential. All the wisdoms from our ancestors ever exist in the world has now lied down on the sheets of paper, and all you need to do is pick up the book. Nevertheless, I'm not utilitarian in reading. I read because I enjoy it, not for learning some specific knowledge. When I read, my mind collides with the author's; our spirits communicating despite age and(or?) place. Lao Zi died thousands of years ago, yet his philosophy is still alive today, and can be appreciated by every admirer. What else has more beauty than that? Go to read, my friend. For in doing so can you truly be free.

When I read, my mind collides with the author's;, our spirits communicating despite age and(or?)or location. When I read, my mind collides with the author's, our spirits communicating despite age or location.

(1) The use of the semicolon is unnatural here. For simplicity, you can think of the semicolon as a period in this context.
