Question

Could you please talk about the wrong view that tranquility is boring.

Answer

Excitement, ok, I'm thinking of the word boring and normally the opposite of boring is excitement. Most people want excitement even if it brings them pain. I think I mentioned yesterday about people coming into a house wanting to turn on the TV or radio because it's too quiet. Many people are afraid of tranquility, they are afraid of quiet, they are afraid of silence. They want excitement, they want stimulation. Again we're back to what I mentioned earlier that people are not content. When you are content, tranquility is never boring it's very nice, it's very peaceful, it's very relaxing, it's never boring. So when a person says or has the wrong view tranquility is boring it's because they are not content inside.
