Re: Why do I feel bored with everything sometimes?
Boredom is a curious psychological phenomenon that apparently animals don't experience. In our case I believe it is because though we have the capacity to, we haven't recognized the good. Consider how Simone Weil puts it:
"Nothing is so beautiful and wonderful, nothing is so continually fresh and surprising, so full of sweet and perpetual ecstasy, as the good. No desert is so dreary, monotonous, and boring as evil. This is the truth about authentic good and evil. With fictional good and evil it is the other way round. Fictional good is boring and flat, while fictional evil is varied and intriguing, attractive, profound, and full of charm."
