Comments on: Week 2: Brilliance Through Boredom http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/brilliance-and-bord/ Coming of Age Online Wed, 19 Oct 2016 13:07:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26 By: mbmistler http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/brilliance-and-bord/#comment-43 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 19:12:14 +0000 http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=281#comment-43 I remember when I was younger someone asked the question of whether or not I would rather be bored or busy. I had a hard time answering the question, and I still somewhat do. I guess there is a an ideal middle-ground that we are all looking for, a state of productivity, but relaxation. Comparing being in school and out of school is a good representative of this, especially since my job is on campus, so when I am out of school I generally do not work. It’s hard to choose either since I am so used to being productive and busy 24/7 during the school year, although I agree with the idealization of boredom that you bring up. Having a clear mind is great for expanding our imagination and creativity, and also for meditation and relaxing the mind by emptying out all preoccupations. I wonder if there is a middle-ground we can achieve: Productive relaxation? Brilliance through boredom?
