"A big problem today is that of
widespread boredom. With all the diversions available to us, one would
think we would be one of the least bored generations in history. There
are various forms of entertainment available to us quite literally at
our fingertips: television, streaming video, radio, the Internet, video
games, and more.
"Yet still it seems that we are often bored. The reason for this, I think, is that we are overstimulated.
"The frantic pace of even our recreational activities leaves most of us incapable of appreciating the subtler, gentler, and more hidden things of life."
In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish,
Washington, DC) reflected on the importance of seeking the gifts of wonder and awe, of appreciating "Gods glories and wonders, which are on display at every moment: in everything we see and in everyone we encounter."
