There are some similarities between these two sentences. "Don't borrow or read books" probably means that you won't read them carefully if you don't borrow them, while "stealing books is not stealing" means that reading is a noble thing, and "stealing books" is a noble thing for scholars. How can it be associated with this bad behavior? It's all the poor and absurd ideas of pedantic scholars.
When I was young, I liked reading. At that time, my income was not high, and I had to help my two sisters study at home. Every time I get paid, I still love to buy books except for my sisters' expenses and meals. I never thought that "I can't read books without borrowing them". I want to have my favorite books when I see them, so I always spend money on them.
But just because I don't have this idea doesn't mean that my colleagues and friends around me don't, so people often borrow books. After borrowing it for a long time, there are still many people urging to throw it over: I haven't finished reading it, isn't it just a book? I'm afraid I can't pay you back! So many books are borrowed like meat buns hitting dogs, which really hurts!
Later, I think that they may love this book more than I do, as long as they cherish it and don't take it too seriously. After all, the relationship between colleagues and relatives is more important than a book.
Later, I stopped lending books to others because I haven't finished reading them. If you have a good relationship, you can borrow it and give it to them directly. You don't want to affect your relationship by borrowing books.
After drifting for more than 20 years, moving is common. I thought I could settle down and stop moving when I bought a house, but I still can't escape the fate of moving. Every time I move, the biggest headache is those dozens of boxes of books. I also thought about donating it, but I couldn't bear to part with it after all!
