Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Cotton Wool I would say that one of the greatest evils of our modern civilization is the steady increase of egoism. As society is now constituted, a man with a moderate but assured income can find people who in exchange for his money will perform for him nearly all the duties of manhood; and, as though he were something infinitely delicate and inestimably precious, he may thus wrap himself in cotton wool and evade the shocks and perils of active existence. And the fact that within the packing of cotton wool all the best of the man has perished, and only the husk of a man remains, seems of no consequence to any of the parties to the bargain.
