"退屈に注意を払うと信じられないほど面白くなる。"
— Jon Kabat Zinn
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when you feel bored and really focus on that feeling, you might find surprising things. Imagine you're waiting in a long line and you have nothing to do. At first, it feels dull, but if you start watching the people around you, listening to their conversations, or thinking deeply about something simple, it can become quite fascinating. It's like noticing details you usually ignore, like a bird singing or the way people interact. By paying close attention, you often discover new layers of any experience, making it interesting. So, next time you're bored, try to observe your surroundings or your own thoughts more closely, and you might end up enjoying the moment.
