boredom?
what would it be for you?
a) silly self indulgence in idle company or making use of books or music, always?
b) structured and destined travel somewhere or gardening?
c) being by oneself or reflecting on life?
d) something sublime and relaxing such as prayers or restful sleep?
share what boredom motivates you to do?
& how do you cope with it when nothing feels interesting?

Boredom is what George Eastman left on his suicide note that read, "To my Friends, My work is done. Why wait?"...
Some how i used to feel it in same way ... But last night ... it Revealed to me that like others , am also looking for an external object to bring me happiness ( success, money ) ..
Why bother .. when happiness is all inside me … I just have to fetch it out because I aint done with this life yet :D

i am doing just fine Dushwari...Alhamdulillah...thanks for asking. How are you? :)
you are right...nothing wrong with a bit of constructive boredom.
Re: define or redefine...
great, angeleyes,
life is so short to be messing with moments of respite from the daily din and social activism or reactivism that one, if knew, could become really restorative with one's boredom.
sometimes, it is not boredom that an inability of the person to do the right thing with that state of boredom.
waiting in a car for somebody who is getting so very late is boring.
a long unimpressive talk is boring, indeed.
someone talking so much and uninteresting is very boring.
but, what is not boring is making an attempt to knowing and acting on it as to what to do with that boredom that is not destructive to anybody and the self, infact it is healing, helping and helpful. :>
Re: define or redefine...
