BOREDOM

I don’t know how many of you can associate with this feeling. But there are times when I have nothing to do but to stare at my fingernails to see if I can actually see them grow. Yes, that’s how deep boredom gets to me at times.

There are people who know how to manage their day, who follow a strict schedule. This enables them to extract the most out of their day and feel content. On the other hand there are those, who simply cant. Their futile attempt to make everything run in a coordinated fashion makes them entangle everything and end up more frustrated than before. I myself am such a person. Writing this article is probably the most constructive thing I have done in a long while.

The Internet has really helped open a whole new dimension. Virtual it may be, it attracts users into an abyss. We have high-speed connections today to exploit the way we like and look up things online. I wonder how our counterparts in yesteryears dealt with this phenomenon called boredom. But then a general theory nullifies my wandering mind. It’s the simple theory of Expectations. The more a human being gets, the more he desires. Centuries back, perhaps a pebble throwing competition could induce adrenaline rush. As crazy as that might sound, its legitimate. Boredom might have been a way of life.

Such times often induce one of those pondering moments when you want to give some weightage to the burning question of what you want to do with life. Some assumptions are made, dreams are woven and hormones of happiness are secreted. Then the dark reality comes piercing its epicenter and you sigh to yourself.

I’m aware that this article has absolutely no significance whatsoever. And you are frowning as to why you wasted five precious minutes on this. But I ask you this, ”How bored could you be, to actually read an article on boredom?”

Peace~
