David Foster Wallace on freedom

".. there are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talked about in the great outside world of winning and achieving and displaying. The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day. That is real freedom."

其實從來沒聽過David Foster Wallace這號人物，只是碰巧在張讓的文章上讀到，順手按了右鍵以GOOGLE搜尋一下，然後得到他對自由的另類見解。心甘情願的負責任好像就是他所謂的真自由---而且還要經過一番努力與訓練才能達成。
