Six months ago I discussed Love and Boredom on thread : https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topic/epistemology/HjEfY8aGVNY
Here's another pair of spheres, distraction inside contentment. Contained inside and determining the size of the spheres are a tetrahedron with four points each of which has a nested sphere at the point. Label the four spheres as greed/fear, boredom/love, understanding/confusion, and alertness/obliviousness. As distraction grows towards the size of the contentment sphere, the difference of the two known as satisfaction decreases. The greed sphere growth is limited by the size of the fear sphere, with fears of losing what you possess overcoming the desire to possess more. I already discussed boredom/love see the link. Understanding grows with enlightenment until the sheer number of things known - complexity, causes confusion to be reached. Alertness is limited by the size of the obliviousness sphere, with neglect being the difference between the two and irrelevance lying outside the nested spheres. As distractions caused by the inner forces grow, particularly from the unfulfilled desires, complexities, lessened neglect, and increased hatred (boredom exceeding love) satisfaction with the situation may cause the contentment sphere to shrink until it is actually smaller than the distraction sphere. At this point a person becomes quite frustrated and may engaged in public diatribes. LOL Lonnie Courtney Clay p.s. I have a toothache, which makes me grouchy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Epistemology" group.
