....all about what we are supposed to feel, how we are supposed to be... and what it wants us to want. It subjects us to a barrage of subtle - and not so subtle - persuasion. Adverts blare out at us. TV shows and movies beckon to us. People around us whisper in our ears or indicate, through their expressions, whether they approve of our behaviour.
In all this, it is hard to know who we truly are and what we genuinely require. Hard but not impossible.
The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.
(Samuel Johnson)
