What difference is it whether we spend our days reading the newspaper, playing cards with the boys, creating art works, writing books, reading poetry or William James, or Paul Auster, having dinner with friends, studying, going to schul or church, golfing, doing Law, Business, or Medicine, reading philosophy, handicapping the horses, going to the theater, or watching television?

Is there any difference?
