I don’t agree with their definition of boring. Not staying out all night on a weekday, scaling mountains, not jumping out of perfectly good planes is not what I call boring at all. It is what I call smart.
So called excitement is way overrated. Give me boring and comfortable over that any day. I prefer ‘enjoyable’ far more than ‘fear and anxiousness’. Those are the types of things that will get you killed or in a bad relationship - which could also get you killed.
My wonderful Saturday nights are spent watching Svengoolie and Judge Jeanine. And can’t forget also lurking FR the whole time too. Popcorn and other yummies optional. A nice open window with the cool air this evening. Puppies curled up beside me. Boring and loving it.
I was thinking the same thing. I think a lot of us become content and enjoy the smaller things in life.
It could be that some people finally grow up and realize that their hedonistic lifestyle ain’t all that “exciting” e.g. drinking until the wee morning hours and dragging your behind into work the next morning is outright dumb.
Svengoolie is a saturday night staple here...i must be boring too!
As I have gotten older, exciting for me is far different.
The good thing is, as I get older, I am less inclined to give a crap if anyone likes or dislikes what I do. It is kind of liberating...:)
You have a very good point. Excitement is addictive. It leads to a need for more and more excitement. Better to be avoided. Not that that’s possible or even desirable all the time, but it’s good to bear in mind.
