Tedious 没意思〔沒﹣﹣〕[méiyìsi]

지루한, 따분한, 둔한

: too long, slow, or dull; tiresome or monotonous.


Having to endure tedious content or stay in a boring place is sheer torture. Waiting for such torment to end can be exhausting, even when it is unavoidable or beneficial to me. 


If I bore someone or subject them to uninteresting material, it means that I do not understand them. Only when you recognize this, pause to reflect on your own words and actions, and then consider how to convey your message while putting the other person at ease, will your true intention be understood. 


When I am trapped inside my own expectations and desires, or when I feel that something is not helping me, aversion often arises, directed toward people, objects, and even places. However, I must also be able to reflect on how well I am meeting the expectations of others.


- Ven. Boan
