Visibility by Italio Calvino

 I enjoyed this reading because it reminds me how important the mind is. Calvino starts off with describing the scenes of the 'wrathful' that pop into Dante's mind in Dante's Inferno. He then goes on to elaborate that our mind's imagination takes us to places beyond limits and allows us to create whatever we desire within ourselves, usually images that are similar to a film in a cinema, except occurring in the brain. Opinions we hold of ourselves and other people also alter our imagination, so it is important to maintain a positive outlook so that the mind is free to imagine the 'good' in life.
