I think the story of how we can live a satisfying life is a little complicated. Our behaviour isn’t always guided by what is most immediately pleasurable, and where and how we gain satisfaction is a bit complicated too.

What characterises my experience of boredom is this mix: energy and lethargy, desiring something but not being sure what it is.
