“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.” - Oscar Wilde

Decryption of quote

"The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame."

Imagine a world where every story told was filled with sunshine and rainbows, where every character was flawless and every ending was happy. It would be a world devoid of depth, of truth, of real human experience. It is in the so-called "immoral" books that we find the raw, unfiltered reflection of our society's darkest corners.

These books hold up a mirror to our collective conscience, forcing us to confront the uncomfortable truths we would rather ignore. They challenge our preconceived notions of right and wrong, good and evil, forcing us to question the very foundations of our beliefs.

By shining a light on the shadows of our world, these books serve as a catalyst for change, inspiring us to strive for a better, more just society. They push us out of our comfort zones, forcing us to confront our own biases and prejudices.

It is through these "immoral" books that we are able to see the world in all its complexity, to understand the nuances of human nature and the intricacies of our society. They remind us that perfection is an illusion, that true growth and understanding come from embracing our flaws and imperfections.

So, the next time you come across a book that challenges your beliefs, that makes you uncomfortable, that forces you to question everything you thought you knew, don't shy away from it. Embrace it. Learn from it. Let it show you the world's shame, and in doing so, help you become a better, more enlightened human being.
