I have tried to explain why I must leave the restaurant, why I must have an aisle seat at the show, why sometimes my throat seizes so powerfully I can\u2019t even drink water. Some friends and family members understand; others don\u2019t; and I hide my phobias when I can.”

Article 6<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“What is workism? It is the belief that work is not only necessary to economic production, but also the centerpiece of one\u2019s identity and life\u2019s purpose; and the belief that any policy to promote human welfare must always encourage more work.”

Article 5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When we are living in a world where we don’t have time for boredom, We might even get existential crisis if the sitcom that one’s watching gets over. I can’t remember a time in the last five years or so when I was bored. I do remember times when I was bored in my childhood and had lot of time to just be with my thoughts, imagination, creatures in my head and fantasy lands. Oh I wish I can get those back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are bored. And I\u2019m going to let you in on a little secret about life. You think it\u2019s boring now? Well, it only gets more boring. The sooner you learn it\u2019s on you to make life interesting, the better off you\u2019ll be.\u201d

Article 4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have read that Tinder users agree that one should \u201cswipe left\u2019\u201d (i.e. reject) on any prospective mate or hookup who proclaims a fondness for, among other writers, Kurt Vonnegut, Ernest Hemingway or William S. Burroughs. I couldn\u2019t care less about the first two of these, but Burroughs is very important to me. He played a vital role in shaping how I see the world (Cities of the Red Night, in particular), and I would want any person with whom I spend much time communicating to know this. I believe I have good reasons for valuing him, and would be happy to talk about these reasons.\u201d

Article 3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI still have the memory of what it\u2019s like when the depersonalisation lifts. Those are periods of such indescribable joy. They\u2019re memories I try to hang on to when things get tough \u2013 memories of just sitting at my tiny kitchen table in my flat, without feeling the need to achieve or function or engage. Just being. Just living.\u201d

Article 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWolf does not mean to suggest that non-moral equals immoral: just because something doesn\u2019t have anything to do with morality (playing tennis, for instance) it does not follow that it is therefore morally bad. The point is that morality is, intuitively, focused on issues such as treating others equally, and on trying to relieve suffering. And good things these are: but so is holidaying with a friend, or exploring the Alaskan rain forest, or enjoying a curry. Moral goodness is just one aspect of the good things in life and, if you live as if the moral aspect is the only aspect that matters, then you are likely to be very impoverished in terms of the non-moral goods in your life. And that means missing out on a lot.\u201d

Article 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“It had become, in Clark\u2019s words, \u201ctransparent equipment.\u201d And the physiological effects of losing that equipment were acute: my heart began to race in the Verizon store when the employee told me he was deactivating my phone, and in the following hours and days, I would frequently find myself reaching for my iPhone, the way a girl reaches for a non-existent ponytail after a drastic haircut. Of course, I would gradually begin to notice not being able to use Google Maps or post to Instagram, but the physical sense of loss was instantaneous and intense. I literally felt a part of me was missing.”
