Märchen (5)


MÄRCHEN (5)


'Should we choose "freedom from" or "freedom to"? The safe cage or the dangerous wild? Comfort, inertia and boredom, or activity, risk and peril? . . . 

'The majority of us are double-plus unfree: our "freedom to" is limited to approved and supervised activities, and our "freedom from" doesn't keep us free from a great many things that can end up killing us.'

(Attwood, The Guardian, 18-09-16)
