About This Quote

The undistracted experience of affects of just about any sort, when free of practical consequences, appears to have intrinsic appeal for many of us. This quote is slightly different from the typical definition of "undistracted." It refers to the idea that undistracted does not mean completely free of everything else. While some people may have their lives completely fulfilled by being given all of their time to just think, others are interested in learning more about subjects they are passionate about.
