It’s funny that boredom even exists. We have instant access to the Internet, games, chatting, emailing, and that’s only with a computer. Sports, TV, theatre, yoga classes… the options to act on are endless. The effect of our endless stream of frenetic action is that we’re becoming desensitized to action. We do stuff just for the sake of doing stuff because we’re caught in the swing of the pendulum. The momentum keeps us going, so go we do. The net result of all this doing is that doing stuff no longer holds the same meaning, and we get bored.
Rather than getting an upset stomach from inhaling one experience after another we can chew on them a bit and savour them for all that they are. In doing so we regain appreciation for all we do, and we transform the simple, the mundane, into acts of wonder.
