I have talked about boring things in the past and how you just have to adapt to them. Today I was thinking about how some tasks that are repetitive can be really enjoyable but often times are just indifferent. For instance, eating has to be done all the time and most of the time it is just something that needs to be done but other times it is really enjoyable. But either way you have to do it.
I feel like religious things, (going to church, praying, and reading scriptures) is especially like this. Many times when I participate in these activities I feel like I don't feel particularly edified. But then occasionally it's really really good. And other times it's somewhere in between. But if I never did it then I would never get those moments of enjoyment and/or edification which are so thoroughly helpful and satisfying. So even though I don't love eating every single time I do it anyway, because in the accumulation of doing it over and over again, it is worth it.
