The Reality of Freedom | August 15, 2014
Instead of creatively realizing their
freedom, many choose the unreflective conformism dictated by television,
indulgence in mass-consumerism, or numbing their feelings of alienation
and anguish with drugs. In theory, freedom may be held in high regard;
in practice it is experienced as a dizzying loss of meaning and
direction.
Stephen Batchelor, “Buddhism Without Beliefs”
