“Passionate” describes the approach
of these cryptozoologists to reports
of modern living pterosaurs seen in
the United States of America. Read
for yourself the second edition of the
book Live Pterosaurs in America.
Think about imbalance rather than
lack of entertainment. Teenagers
are human, needing a balance of
work, rest, play, and the structured
learning that we call “education.”
Think of the person whom you
have labeled “bored.” Does he or
she spend most of the time in only
one of the above four areas? Sure
it is that some persons, in special
situations, can sometimes only be
alternating between two of them. A
medical student spends almost all
the time studying and resting. An
adult who has arrived at the long-
awaited employment may spend
most of the time working, with little
time for play, none for education.
Try getting more balanced with the
above four basic activities and do
not let any idleness enter into any
of your routines.
Social interaction, of course, can
be an important part of the four
basic activities. In fact, the friendly
relationships are important in our
lives, including the many positive
communications with others.
Spiritual values can enhance our
lives, and it need not be confined
to church meetings. Prayer and
meditation, when balanced with the
four basic activities, can make life
more meaningful, giving relief from
the boredom that might otherwise
enter in.
Please also note one blog post in
“Child Care for Lakewood,” about
teenager boredom. Strange as it
may seem, at least a few teens
feel excited to become involved in
cryptozoology, even in the unusual
field of living-pterosaur reports.
