Boredom

Aah.... Again I was munching on some dumb philosophy....

This is how it started.....

Recently my friend was saying, he is completely bored and boredom is killing him....

Well, I quickly noticed that he is not the kind of person who says he is bored that easily.... Well something really is wrong....

But I don't know clearly what it was..... only fact that lingered in my mind is, he is forcing the boredom on himself...

I used to get bored a lot of time... not new for me... in fact, the only thing we would feel when we are bored is that 'we are bored'....

I know how it would feel.... like I do not want to do anything and that makes the time dull and slow and I would hate it, and that would make me so unenergized and that will cause more of non-activity and boredom increases rapidly to a new level...

Somewhere at a tricky little shadowed corner of our mind we knew that boredom is not something that is outside of us though we always talk about it as an external thing....

Boredom is not forced on us by outside force or factor.

It is a resolve to not indulge in anything causes the disease called boredom.

This was so clear to me when my friend experienced this disease than the time I experienced it.

So I had to create a quote 'Boredom is simply a refusal to engage in anything'.

And I had to write an entire blog also, not because I'm bored but to record my idea ;)
