The bourgeois lifestyle denies or dampens spirit to keep things exactly as we like them. It can be seen at play in classes as students constantly take little breaks for a sip of water or to check their phone or simply to glance around. It effectively means that we have tiny attention spans for anything remotely difficult. Exactly when we really need to buckle down and concentrate – bring our attention and intention to bear – is when we chose instead to wimp out and take a break.
