A short story: Youâre watching a movie. The first twenty minutes were kind of cool, but youâre not having fun anymore. None of the characters are interesting, you donât care about the story, but you keep watching because you know this movie won an Oscar and your friends all rave about it. Still, youâre bored. âWhy am I bored?â you ask yourself. âI could be doing something fun. Whatâs wrong with me?â
I like the take on ditching 'conventionally' fun activities and trusting your own internal guidance. However, I do think it's incredibly useful and important to learn to sit with boredom. If we don't, then we're just hedonists constantly running after the next blip of pleasurable sensations. Is the point you make explicitly for media consumption?
Cutting it a little close... Got my hopes up in getting $200 ;)
