In a philosophy class I took last semester,
I read that boredom was evil.
In my opinion,boredom will make you turn
to anything as a source of entertainment.
This can mean doing things you normally wouldn't.
Boredom is a common occurrence in our society
as we become more accustomed to instant gratification.
In essence, there is no reason for us to ever be boredom.
We can always be productive in whatever we do.
We could even read a book or play a sport.
But we aren't in the mood to do that.
So we say we're bored until something different comes along.
Often, this means our standards are lowered.
Sure, that means we'll try new things.
But some of these new things may be things
we promised we'd never do.
Such as:
bungee jump
piss in the monkey cage at the zoo
get a legit mohawk
hook up with someone we don't particularly want.
My usual cure for boredom is to gorge myself on food.
This isn't particularly the best solution...
but it keeps me out of trouble. haha
Truly, the best cure for boredom may be a hobby.
Paint, build, travel, read, garden.
Find something that can take up your time
when you're all alone and have nothing better to do.
Perhaps then boredom will never revisit you.
Word.
