"Feeding the Mind" by Lewis Carroll is an essay written in the early 20th century, specifically around the late 1800s to early 1900s. This work discusses the often-overlooked importance of nurturing one's mental faculties, paralleling it to the care we dedicate to feeding our bodies. Carroll, known for his whimsical prose in works like "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," presents his ideas in a light-hearted yet thought-provoking manner, urging readers to reflect on their literary consumption habits. In this essay, Carroll emphasizes that just as we must properly nourish our bodies with a balanced diet, we should also feed our minds with suitable and wholesome material. He critiques the tendency to overindulge in certain types of literature, much like gluttony with food, which can lead to mental indigestion. Carroll offers practical advice on how to choose the right kind of reading, suggesting moderation and the importance of digestion—both intellectual and emotional—when consuming ideas. He concludes with the notion that being mindful about what we read not only supports our intellectual growth but is also a personal duty.
