It's the root cause of all of humanities internal struggles.

There's worse things than boredom, my aunt used to say.
That said, I have done terrible things on account of being bored.
Who said only the boring ever get bored?
Pet Shop Boys sang "And we were never being boring We were never being bored, cause we were never being boring,
We were never being bored" and I think I know what they meant.

Johnny: Was I bored? No, I wasn't fuckin' bored. I'm never bored. That's the trouble with everybody - you're all so bored. You've had nature explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the living body explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the universe explained to you and you're bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them, and it doesn't matter how tawdry or vacuous they are as long as it's new as long as it's new as long as it flashes and fuckin' bleeps in forty fuckin' different colors. So whatever else you can say about me, I'm not fuckin' bored.

"Nature is interested in only two things - to survive and to reproduce one like itself. Anything you superimpose on that, all the cultural input, is responsible for the boredom of man. Boredom is a bottomless pit. As long as you think that there is something more interesting, more purposeful, more meaningful to do than what you are actually doing, you have no way of freeing yourself from boredom." UG

Without boredom we would all walk around being perfectly content and satisfied. We would then no longer seek greater things and would produce nothing. Boredom is the deterrent, punishment for stagnancy and sloth. Fight it and you will be rewarded with happiness. GO
