Summary

This quote suggests that our perception of time has a profound impact on our emotional state. Boredom arises when we view every activity as unproductive and pointless, leading to a sense of frustration or restlessness. In contrast, serenity is achieved by recognizing and valuing the significance of each moment, even in seemingly mundane or uneventful situations. By appreciating the present and finding purpose in all that we do, we can replace boredom with a deep sense of tranquility and contentment.

Even the humblest Party member is expected to be competent,

Even the humblest Party member is expected to be competent, industrious, and even intelligent within narrow limits, but it is also necessary that he should be a credulous and ignorant fanatic whose prevailing moods are fear, hatred, adulation, and orgiastic triumph. In other words it is necessary that he should have the mentality appropriate to a state of war. It does not matter whether the war is actually happening, and, since no decisive victory is possible, it does not matter whether the war is going well or badly. All that is needed is that a state of war should exist.
