Yuval Noah Harari

I try and hopefully I do it enough times. And this is important because in the long term, it enables me to play with ideas. I have the confidence to start formulating ideas some brave idea, most of them turn out to be nonsense. But I trust myself not to be attached, not to become attached to my own nonsense, so it gives me this room for playfulness.

First of all, it's a difficult journey. It's not fun. It's not recreational. It's not kind of time to relax. It can be very, very intense. The most difficult thing, at least in the meditation I practice, vipassana, which I learned from a teacher called SN Goenka, the most difficult thing is not the silence. It's not the sitting for long hours. It's what comes up.

Everything you don't want to know about yourself. This is what comes up. So it's very intense and difficult. If you go to a meditation retreat, don't think you're going to relax.

It depends what comes up. Anger comes up, you're angry. For days on end, you're just boiling with anger. Everything makes you angry. Again, something that happens right now, or you remember something from 20 years ago and you start boiling with, it's like, I never even thought about this incident. But it was somewhere stored with a huge, huge pile of anger attached to it.

And it's now coming up and all the anger is coming up. Maybe it's boredom. You know, 30 days of meditation, you start getting bored. And it's the most boring thing. Suddenly, no anger. It's the most boring. Another second, I scream. I mean, and boredom is one of the most difficult things to deal with in life. I think it's closely related to death. Death is boring.

You know, in many movies, death is exciting. It's not exciting. When you die, ultimately, it's boredom. Nothing happens.

And many things in the world happen because of boredom. To some extent, people start entire wars because of boredom. People quit relationships. People quit jobs because of boredom. And if you never learn how to deal with boredom, you will never learn how to enjoy peace and quiet because the way to peace passes through boredom.
