Interesting in relation to active/passive since yes somehow reading is degraded, one may be a writer and this carries a certain weight, but to call oneself a 'reader' is almost an excuse; while one says there is a certain weight to 'being a good listener,' so much more emphasis is placed on 'being a good speaker'; even in say Zen or Ch'an, there are all those written discourses betraying the absence of writing, emphasizing nothought with thought nospeech with speech; the periphery of reading then is writing, the periphery of listening is speaking... - Alan
