I really hope these answers are ironical
Not to defend them because I don't care, but I suppose they're just sharing one of their off-time activities. Furthermore, some people are just not advanced enough to consider meditation and spiritual studies an immense pleasure instead of a chore. I hope they are not among them, but who knows...
This caught my eye because you seem very correct on that. Starting out many, many years ago, meditation was drawling and felt as torturous to do as homework. In the past few years though it's a great pleasure and I have frequently caught myself in situations where I'm at work or doing an errand run wanting to just go and meditate.
Not play a game, not watch a movie... meditate, and for many hours. I never really noticed this until I read your post. Though I don't think advancement has all that much to do with it as I'm sure there are types of personalities who would naturally revel in meditation, but it definitely has an influence. It becomes almost an addiction to us I suppose, or more correctly a need, like eating when you're hungry or drinking when you're thirsty.
