Monotony

In my interactions today, I encountered the question of how to deal with the monotony of life without experiencing boredom and restlessness.  When I was following the purely intellectual interests of a highly trained scientist, I did, indeed, find much of life to be monotonous.  Since that time I have added spiritual and emotional elements to my life.  Life has now taken on much greater depth and complexity within its ultimate simplicity.  I now balance my day to day existence with the realities of love, other emotions and eternity.  Monotony is no longer a concern!
