But how is he going to discover this fact? By removing the value rigidity that rates rice above freedom. How is he going to do that?

Before long he should get a nibble from a little fact wondering if he is interested in it. He should try to understand this fact not so much in terms of his big problem as for its own sake. That problem may not be as big as he thinks it is. That fact may not be as small as he thinks it is either. That’s about all the general information you can give him. “ (Cont.Next)
