About This Quote
Deepak Chopra said: “Man needs entertainment simply to hide his madness. If he was perfectly sane, he would not need it. He could just sit and watch this bamboo grow. He does not really need it.” This quote is a good reminder of the fact that many people use entertainment as a form of escape from reality. If you find that you are spending an inordinate amount of time on social media sites, watching television, or playing video games, you may be experiencing a form of madness that can be alleviated by some good old-fashioned fun.
