Are you ever bored? What is boredom anyway?
One dictionary defined boredom as “a state of being bored.” Very helpful, that. A friend of mine defined it as “Your brain is begging you to get a life.” Merriam-Webster put it this way: The state of being weary and restless through lack of interest. Am I ever bored? I can’t think of a time as an adult when I was bored. I may have been uninterested in what another person was waxing eloquent about, but those times just give me the opportunity to think up my next blog, or book, or podcast. Here are a couple of interesting (to me!) quotes:
“Nobody is bored when he is trying to make something that is beautiful or to discover something that is true.” William Inge
“The cure for boredom is curiosity.” —Dorothy Parker
Life is too short for me to be bored!
