"What you like is bad, or at leased you was bad, or at least unimportant in comparison to other things ? {{It seemed the quintessence of 'squareness' he was fighting. }} Little children were trained ot to do "just what they liked" but... but what...? Of course !!! What OTHERS LIKED . And what others ? Parents, teachers supervisors, policemen, officials, kings dictators . ALL AUTHORITIES . When you are trained to despise "just what you like"then, of course, you become a much more obedient servant of others ---> a GOOD slave . When you learn NOT to do "just what you like" then the System LOVES you " .
