Summary

This quote suggests that values are subjective and personal, akin to the tapes we choose to listen to on a Walkman. It implies that individuals have the freedom to adopt any set of values they prefer as long as it does not harm or infringe upon the well-being of others. In other words, as long as our values do not impede the rights and happiness of others, we are free to define our own moral principles and live by them.
