Entertained and Satisfied
Who doesn't want to be entertained? Entertainment runs a huge gamut of activities but at risk of over simplifying, I venture to propose that there are 2 general schools of thought concerning entertainment. The first is that good entertainment should be relaxing, mindless and repetitive. I site playing games like Uno or watching a movie or even a sporting event. These types of activities let you go along for the ride and the activity without requiring much cognitive thinking on your part. You can "zone out". I don't find any fault with this first type of activity, in fact, I often find myself engaging in these types of activities when I need a break. The second type of entertainment is the type that forces you to use your brain. Examples include games like Risk, Settlers of Catan and puzzles like Cryptograms and Logic Puzzles. It is hard to ignore the self-satisfaction that you get when you correctly solve the puzzle or win the game.
