Boredom is bad

phunke (59)in #boredom • 9 years ago (edited)

It seems that a pandemic invades us: Boredom. Nobody wants to get bored and in life, not everything is fun. Learning to coexist with boredom is essential: no one dies of boredom but to fight against it many people suffer and more than one dies sooner or later.

That prejudices are very harmful is not a secret. Now, there are some that are very harmful and that go unnoticed by many people. One of these prejudices is that " boredom is bad ".

There is an obsession to avoid boredom or fight against it both in ourselves and in other people:

Parents who buy too many toys for their children or point them to all kinds of extracurricular activities.

Young and not so young that they drown their liver in alcohol, because they think that drunkenness is fun.

...

Boredom has become, as Diego Arranz says , an "evil" that only affects the "first world", those people who do not need to fight to live because they already have it guaranteed. Thus, certain habitual situations where boredom appears give wrong solutions:

" Mom, I'm bored!"

Sit here and watch this DVD that you've only seen a dozen times, your mother answers.

" What a boring party, let's go!"

Drink something and you will see how you feel. But also I have some pills that will wake you up in two minutes !, says one of his "friends".

In others, however, boredom is overestimated and other aspects are underestimated:

" My work is fine, but it's boring. I'm looking for another one. "

Then you will make the other job boring and then, what will you do? Will you leave it again? Will you be afraid to leave it?

" Go more boring conference."

Did you think it was a humor monologue? Learning is not always fun and this is not why we are going to stop learning, right?

...

Goethe said :
If the monkeys will manage to feel bored, they could become men

Conclusion . It is not bad for a child to get bored, let him think and do not cancel his mind with movies or television! And not everything in life is fun, learn to face boredom or take an interest in those things you do not know: There is so much to learn that there is no time to get bored!

Hey @phunke. Deep as always. This is one of those things that people don't think is necessary but yet its so important.

BOREDOM is good. It can make you thinkoutside the box to find alternative solutions to engage our minds.

Also like you rightly pointed out, not all activities are fun...but I think we can learn to enjoy everything because its all part of life.

Work should be play and play should be work. Lolx.

Cheers dear!

Truly, boredom has its plus...there are times we need to think and analyze situations...we can't always be in jolly mood...and parents must definitely let their kids know that life is full of ups and downs. It is not a bed of roses.. Nice article @phunke
