Boredom
What is boredom? People say it is the all consuming feeling of having nothing to do. But that isnt true, is it? I have plenty of things to do, yet im bored. Why? Why does it make me feel like that doing anything would be the worst thing ever when im already doing worse doing nothing? Why does boredom kill productivity, when it should breed even more?
It seems to me that boredom is not just doing nothing. It is the wish to do something yet not wanting to do something at the same time. The reason for this could possibly be the wish to be doing a specific thing, like talking to your friend who may not be available at that moment rather than say, getting your work done. The wish to talk to the friend, which is not possible, breeds boredom and now you dont wanna get your work done, which is possible, either. The boredom turns into procastination. Now youre just sitting there bored with nothing to do when in fact, you could be getting your work done. Isnt this boredom?
When youre happy, boredom also calls sadness with it, even though its just temporary. Youre still happy but when you get bored, you get sad for a while. Then the boredom eventually passes by and youre happy again. Its a speedbump in the road of happiness.
On the other hand, when youre sad, boredom can make you numb and hopeless. If boredom while youre happy is a speedbumb, boredom while youre sad is traffic jam. It makes you stop and spend even more time in the road of sadness. This boredom if gone on for too long eventually turns into depression.
Boredom is a weird thing. It is an eventuality as well so we must all deal with it. So learning how to deal with boredom should be a necessity for us all as well.
Im bored. Boredom is definitely not in my top 10 emotions to feel list.
