boredom you were saying Duncan Trussle is a form of anger?

Yeah, I was listening to this Jack Cornfield audio book and he was saying that boredom,

that boredom is part, comes from anger because it's resistance to what is when you're

bored you're resisting what's happening and that's a it's a form of anger it's in the

family of anger tell it to the dude's been in solitary confinement for five years.

I'd be fucking pissed. Yeah. Yeah, I think that guy needs to stretch out that definition

a bit. A little bit. There's some reasonable boredom, you know, have you ever had

taken an ear beating from somebody? That's not anger. That's you're bored.

Oh, man, it's totally real, but it's always resistance.

Like if you're experiencing boredom, you're resisting what's happening,

you don't want to be there.

That's what boredom is.

But isn't resistance sometimes exactly the right thing to be doing?

Mm.

I mean, there's a passivity at the heart of some Buddhist

scholarship that I find irritated. That is something I used to think and I disagree with that now

because I think that you definitely it's not like suddenly you're like I'm just going to be in every situation that I'm in

It's just that instead of being in a situation experiencing that it what you're saying is the idea that the only thing that will motivate people

to change is pain and the idea is like no that's an illusion that's not what you need

you don't need pain to if you if I'm in a house it's on fire I'm going to get out of the house before the

fire burns me I don't need a feeling a physical experience of pain and

boredom desire anger all of these things if you really feel them, it's not the greatest feeling.
