FROM TALES OF FREEDOM: Do we really need to fill our lives with wall to wall experiences? Can we listen to ourselves rather than the radio or tv for once? In particular, can we learn to do one thing at a time, giving it all our attention? [...] Are we living in a mental equivalent of junk food? Are the experiences we take in fulfilling? Do they broaden our understanding of life and encourage us to become better, freer human beings? Or are they just intensifying our tendency to distract ourselves, to fill ourselves with pleasant experiences that never really satisfy us, like living on a diet of strawberry cheesecake? [...] to question the values we are being offered by the magazines we read, the films we watch, the people we spend time with.
