As I sit here on a 3/4 moon evening munching on bell peppers and lemon slices (I'm making a burger but getting a vitamin fix first), can't help but contemplate all the "I'm bored", "It's boring" statuses posted & tweeted everyday.
It puzzles me, because i've never never said it or felt it. Sure there may be boring movies, boring people, etc, but I still haven't been bored.
It's been inferred that boredom results from nothing other than one's own mind. There is nothing boring, but there are bored minds, minds that refuse to venture much.
It may be that, and expecting others or things to make one "unbored", rather than building & creating from within oneself.
This relates to the personal growth factor, in which we should always be developing ourselves and learning things, ideas and skills.
The consequence of not understanding this is that one will forever be trying to avoid boredom by finding new situations and new, exciting experiences, rather than building oneself into an unbored, unboring person.
Its the simple principle us simple humans tend to forget:
The goal is to be, not to acquire.
