Making the men forget everything there was, or could be, outside - TopicsExpress



          

Making the men forget everything there was, or could be, outside their present surroundings was an advantage to the Company, just as it is useful to a dictator when he wants to suppress the people he governs so much that they become completely uninterested in political life and feel themselves lucky because it is no longer necessary for them even to think or take on any kind of personal responsibility. The sheep feels best, safest, and happiest in the flock, where it has nothing else to do but graze, grow wool, and give birth to lambs. Once the new office workers had reached that stage, when their intellectual capacity and their ambition had become like those of sheep in a flock, that was when they had begun to be useful and reliable pillars of the Company they worked for and which paid them their salary. ---from TROZAS by B.
