Boredom is a luxury

“I am so bored, anyone care to chat?”


“Boredom!”

“Bored to death”...... etc etc


These cries are so common nowadays, you can almost hear every other person mouthing it in any social network web during weekends. They sound absolutely desperate and full of despair. Boredom must be the most common sickness for the youngsters of the 21st century.


To understand the origin of this situation would require a complex study which is beyond my capacity and capability. So let’s not go into that.

My question is: “Is it so disastrous to be bored?”


People in misery never complain about being bored. They are so worn down by the problems that they have, their mind has no free time. Solutions searching occupies a major part of their waking moment. The word boredom never crosses their mind. Boredom is a luxury. It happens only to people who has nothing to do and nothing to worry about. No stress on term examination, no anguish of job losing, no health problems, no need to concern about their children. no torture of hunger, no flood in the house. Nothing. The moment when totally nothing is happening. That is where boredom creeps in.


A kind reminder to those who has the temptation to declare oneself bored. Before saying the five-letters word, please be aware of how lucky you are. It is actually a privilege to be bored. And don’t ever make it sounds like you are in such a pathetic situation. YOU ARE NOT.
