In a series of videos on Instagram, Ermal Mamaqi spoke about the importance of finding goals in life, where, among other things, he focused on reading novels.
"Don't read nonsense. There are some who read novels. Ok I don't have anything concrete against, but who reads more novels now aman, only retirees. You need to read books that are valuable, books that are related to your profession or books that are related to the situation you are going through. ? He said.
According to him, some people misunderstood the statement about the novels, so in another video he explained :
"For the work of the novels that I said only pensioners read. I also said it in the first video that I have nothing against novels, because I have read many novels in life, but in this time we are going through, novels are read by retirees and rich people because they have things perfectly. It?s not the moment to read novels now, novels have tremendous value, but it?s not the moment to read novels or see classical opera and ballet now. It's time to dump her and move on. "
In the comment, the publisher Arlinda Dudaj does not agree at all with Mamaqi's point of view. "And man, when he goes to work, on the way to where he will go for a living, can read novels, that those novels and books can develop as a person, make a person. That, after all, we are talking about this in times like these, to find man in ourselves, ?she writes, among other things.
"Ermal came in and watched the video because I really couldn't believe you could have really said what my ears hear from your mouth. Beyond everything you may have suffered from quarantine fatigue, uncertainty in the future, we all have it from the first to the last to the last corner of the world. As you present it, it seems that man must do one thing, that which you believe, excluding everything else. Let's not talk about the age and gender discrimination that you have done and other times, but we have not forgiven you for calling it humor, even though it is not. Beauty will save the world, it has always saved it, this is not decided by my or your depression at certain times. And man, and when he goes to work, on the way to where he will go for a living, he can read novels, that those novels and books can develop as a person, make a person. That, after all, we are talking about this in times like these, to find man in ourselves. I'm sorry if you will be remembered as the only opinion maker in the history of the world who preaches non-reading. "
