The Ever-present Impulse Is To Push Against Restriction And, In So Doing, To Feel Intolerably Hemmed In. Thus In Practice, Every Liberation Increases The Sense Of Oppression. Nor Is The Paradox Merely In The Mind: The Laws Enacted To Secure The Rights Of Every Person And Group, By Creating Protective Boundaries, Create New Barriers.

Nor Is The Paradox Merely In The Mind: The Laws Enacted To Secure The Rights Of Every Person And Group, By Creating Protective Boundaries, Create New Barriers.

In Ordinary Speech The Words Perception And Sensation Tend To Be Used Interchangeably, But The Psychologist Distinguishes. Sensations Are The Items Of Consciousness--a Color, A Weight, A Texture--that We Tend To Think Of As Simple And Single. Perceptions Are Complex Affairs That Embrace Sensation Together With Other, Associated Or Revived Contents Of The Mind, Including Emotions.
