Lying Boredom Perception

More From William Least Heat-Moon

We define boredom as the pain a person feels when he's doing nothing or something irrelevant, instead of something he wants to do but won't, can't, or doesn't dare. boredom is acute when he knows the other thing and inhibits his action, e.g., out of politeness, embarrassment, fear of punishment or shame. boredom is chronic if he has repressed the thought of it and no longer is aware of it. a large part of stupidity is just the chronic boredom, for a person can't learn, or be intelligent about, what he's not interested in, when his repressed thoughts are elsewhere.
Pain Blessing Intelligent
Patience and boredom are closely related. boredom, a certain kind of boredom, is really impatience. you don't like the way things are, they aren't interesting enough for you, so you deccide- and boredom is a decision-that you are bored.

There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.

Perception without the word, which is without thought, is one of the strangest phenomena. then the perception is much more acute, not only with the brain, but also with all the senses. such perception is not the fragmentary perception of the intellect nor the affair of the emotions. it can be called a total perception, and it is part of meditation.

If i marry: he must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. his shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. his lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. love must be so deep that it takes its stand in christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. he must be active enough to save souls. he must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. his arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.

Failure's relative. i've always felt, even early on, if i lose the freedom to fail, something's not right about that. it's how you treat failure, too. there's something to learn from it. i've had movies that have failed colossally, so you kind of analyze your failures: what kind of failure was it? a failure because it's misunderstood by others? a failure because you misunderstood it yourself?

I think that shakespeare had his male side and his female side extremely well developed. and this was a great quality of the elizabethan, all-around renaissance man. they were not afraid of their male side and their female side co-existing. this somewhere along the line got lost. and then it got misunderstood.

The writer who neglects punctuation, or mispunctuates, is liable to be misunderstood for the want of merely a comma, it often occurs that an axiom appears a paradox, or that a sarcasm is converted into a sermonoid.
