Comment on What is "attention", really?

  It can be any sort of focus. Physical, mental, emotional, etc.

    Elsewhere in this thread I likened attention to a flashlight in a dark room. And the things in the dark room being the sights, sounds, thoughts, emotions, etc. And then you direct the flashlight at the things.

    What do you think of that way of thinking about it?

  Ok, you asked for their words.

  They gave them.

  You decide their words are not enough.

  So, give us your definition.

  (if you reply with, I don;t know that is why I am asking then I suggest don't attack those that are willing to answer you.)
