This
heart phrase is used to describe absent-minded
conduct or a person who is absent-minded.
An example is the person who has a chronic
inability to concentrate. This is a personality
trait and such a person has no attention
span beyond a few minutes. The story in
the jai
lOOy person’s mind shifts
randomly, and he or she does not connect
one event with another. This is not someone
you hire to operate heavy machinery. Nor
is it someone you want behind the wheel
of your taxis from Don Muang Airport.
Jai
lOOy is the expression used by
an observer of such an unfocused person.
Someone
who suffers from attention deficit is
jai
lOOy. It would be rare for a
person with this type of personality to
describe herself or himself as jai
lOOy. A second meaning is the
temporary lapse of concentration that
most of us experience. It is important
to distinguish between someone who sometimes
has a “floating heart” and
someone whose heart appears to be forever
floating. The sense of focus and concentration
inherent in this phrase is connected to
baby-corn stuffing to a daydream about
going out to see a film with her friends.
Her act of daydreaming is plÒOy
jai.
Often you can spot this emotional state
in someone’s eyes. They appear to
be very far off, lost in their personal
thoughts, and you may ask what they are
daydreaming about by reference to this
heart phrase.
