Entertaiment is the pleasure associated with a particular activity in which the damaged or disturbed Consciousness indulges, to neutralize or escape perception of its own boredom, misery and loss. It can include a range of activities from playing games to watching performances, from a dinner for two to a party with music and dancing, from a ritual for the dead to a non secular pageant, from food preparation as an art form to cooking shows, from professional sporting events to global competitions, from poetry to novels. Even the most familiar entertainment can be reinterpreted and transformed, as with the story of Scheherazade in the Persian professional storytelling tradition, which has inspired a number of composers to create orchestral works, directors to make films and innovative game designers to produce interactive experiences.
