Interesting question

Sometimes I just feel that I need more questions than answers.

Today I am lucky that I find an interesting question , and got a quite scientifical answer as well from putclub.com

What is boredom, scientifically speaking?

Boredom: an aversive state of wanting, but being unable to engage in satistying activity, arising from failures in one of the brain's attention networks. In other words, you're bored when you can't quite focus on stuff---such as thoughts or things happening around you---that allows you to engage in absorbing activities. And, to make it worse, you're sort of aware that you can't pay attention, which makes you feel listless, and, well, bored.

简单概括一下：什么是无聊呢？自己意识到自己不能集中注意力的时候就感到无聊。

我个人觉得人体的能量至少可以分两种：一种是物质层面的能量，另一种是情绪层面的能量。

比如明明吃的饱饱的，还是会感觉全身无力，缺乏热情。此时应该不是物质能量的匮乏，而是情绪能量的短缺。

此时又想起了维克多弗兰克尔在《活出生命的意义》一书中提到的“精神动力”。

精神健康有赖于一定程度的紧张——即已完成的和有待完成的任务之间的紧张，或者是当下状态与理想状态之间的差距。

我理解这样的紧张或差距就构成了情绪动力的势能，或者说就是生活的动力。

所以生活中有必要时不时问问自己：我现在哪里？要去哪里？到底什么对自己是重要的？
