self where there is no negativity.

Some believers become experts and scholars in their particular holy book. But they are only expert about what someone else said. When questioned they have nothing to say from their own intelligence. They can't use their own intelligence to find out anything for themselves. But they become expert and scholars in explaining what someone else has use their intelligence to find out for them self.

This is a typical believer, an expert in what others say. Their whole life is spent studying and learning about what others say. You should be studying yourself and you're not others and you're not a book. Why ignore your own self and study a book.
