From what I’ve experienced, it’s not the high state of mind that allows me to avoid unpleasantness and drudgery, it is seeing through the illusion of “unpleasantness and drudgery” that brings about a high state of mind.

      Absolutely! And there’s deep lessons to be learned in “boring stuff,” when you dig far enough. 🙂

    Indeed. Why listen to naysayers and tired conventions; find the jewels in the honest mud.

      Man! Can I use that? “Find the jewels in the honest mud.” That’s brilliant!

        Oh please do! I probably picked it from somewhere myself, but can’t remember where; (it’s risk once you get past 65 😄)

    This post reminds of a Buddhist saying I read somewhere:
    The point of doing the dishes is not to have clean dishes. The point of doing the dishes is to be doing the dishes.

      Seems soundly supported by evidence; I’d drive myself crazy trying to control for the infinite variations and instances of cleanliness when it comes to dishes. 🙂
