Reflections: Investigating the incidence of boredom

by Sean Johnston

Created on: March 03, 2007   Last Updated: April 09, 2007

Being bored is the displacement of your ambitions. The Remission of your aspirations. If you are bored for long enough then you will eventually find something to occupy yourself. We have nothing but time, it is the essence of our lives and if you can grasp it well enough you shouldn't ever be bored.

If you are reading this, it is probably because at some point things got boring. But if you are reading this, than you're occupying that gap of boredom. Somehow you collectively thought your way into this boring article. and if you aren't thinking then you are just waisting the space of this this infinitely active, boring void.



Nobody aspires to be bored, but if you aspire for nothing you get nothing. Boredom is simply a blank canvas that can unfold anyway you want it too, all thanks to time. With all this time you just need to find some inspiration. whether you find it from standing on your head or staring at the wall, the fact of the matter is if you think about it for long enough you will figure it out. Life is anything but dull. You can choose to suffer or embrace boredom but when you get down to the core of it all, being bored is just another powerful mechanism of denial.

So quit making excuses for yourself and get creative. Start simple by building on one idea that you like and making way for the foundation of a big fat tank of think. You are the only one who can make things happen for yourself. So think about it and quit putting emphasis on boredom, for it is just a state of mind in which only you can change.
