Isn't boredom a terrible thing?

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

Boredom is deep and mysterious.

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

your profound wisdom really catches me off guard quite
often. you have just motivated me to get up from the couch.
after reading some more threads of course.
