...you will find that anything or nothing is sufficient to attract his wandering attention. you no longer need a good book, which he really likes, to keep him from his prayers or his work or his sleep; a column of advertisements in yesterday's paper will do. you can make him waste his time not only in conversation he enjoys with people whom he likes, but in conversations with hose he cares nothing about on subjects that bore him. you can make him do nothing at long periods. you can keep him up late at night, not roistering, but staring at a dead fire in a cold room. all the healthy and out-going activities which we want him to avoid can be inhibited and nothing given in return, so that at least he may say... "i now see that i spent most of my life in doing neither what i ought nor what i liked".
