Also, boredom is often the starting point for inspirational ideas, and many discoveries and inventions have happened when people who are responsible for these had nothing to do, and were in a state of extreme boredom. Make your boredom a rejoicing, a time to think, plan, introspect, and come out with brilliant workable ideas, reconnect with others and with yourself, instead of fretting and fuming, and generally making yourself and those around you miserable, with your continuous lamenting.
Boredom or constantly feeling bored can mean two things. One, you do not know yourself. You don’t know what you like, what you dislike, what makes you tick and what irritates you. For if you really knew yourself, you would also know why you are bored and would also know what would get you out of this boredom. So if you are bored and don’t know why, maybe it is time for some deep introspection and meditation, in an effort to know yourself.
The other reason many of us complain of being bored, and this is especially true of children, is as an attention-seeking measure. We hope that those to who we complain will drop everything and pamper and mollycoddle us, will give us more of their time, and will attend to us.
Like everything, boredom too has its benefits, if you use the time effectively and creatively. Otherwise, you can keep complaining that you are bored, and waste the one and only life that God has given you, in a bored, mundane fashion. Feeling bored is also a choice no one is stopping you from going ahead and doing all those things that could make your life interesting or exciting, except yourself.
