Absence of pleasure from the performance of acts that would normally be pleasurable.I'm not sure what the deal is, but I'm in some kind of funk these days. Hopefully I'll get around to writing something worth reading here. Until then, I'll leave you with this anecdote about Francis Crick:
Religion he never let up on. The university at which he practiced his science is filled with ancient college chapels, whose presence so irked Crick that when the new Churchill College invited him to become a fellow, he agreed to do so only on condition that no chapel be built on the grounds. In 1963, when a benefactor offered to fund a chapel and Crick's fellow fellows voted to take the money, he refused to accept the argument that many at the college would appreciate a place of worship and that those who didn't were not obliged to enter it. He offered to fund a brothel on the same basis, and when that was rejected, he resigned.Good article, too. Definitely worth a click through.
