Imagine that you lived your entire life in a confined area — say, a 500-square-foot room. Imagine that, within this room, somebody served you the same food every day at the same time. Imagine your furniture was bolted to the floor and your few possessions never changed. Imagine you always saw the same view, smelled the same scents, heard the same sounds. You’d probably get bored, wouldn’t you? You might even go a little crazy.
