The individual who finds no opportunity for self-chosen, meaningful expression of inner resources and personality suffers, said van den Haag, “an insatiable longing for things to happen. The external world is to supply these events to fill the emptiness. The popular demand for ‘inside’ stories, for vicarious sharing of the private lives of ‘personalities’ rests on the craving for private life—even someone else’s—of those who are dimly aware of having none whatever, or at least no life that holds their interest.” - Soliloquios Literarioshas quoted4 years agoWhat the bored person really craves is a meaningful, authentic life. The ads suggest that such a life comes in products or packaged commercial experiences. But religion and the science of psychology say it’s more likely to be found in such things as service to others, relationships with friends and family, connection with nature, and work of intrinsic moral value.
- Soliloquios Literarioshas quoted4 years agoOur amazingly productive technologies could allow all of us to spend less time doing repetitive, standardized work, or work whose products bring us little pride, by allowing us to trade higher wages for reduced working hours
