RE: Late Night Musings: What is "Bored," Anyway?
When my brain goes quiet and there are no thoughts
I wonder what that feels like 🤔
I suppose one sense of boredom is being in a situation that is of no interest to you. If you were to somehow find yourself trapped in a Justin Bieber concert (or some other artist that you don't like) then you might feel a sense of boredom (or maybe irritation)... perhaps boredom in the sense of "having nothing to do" is welcome to some (and therefore not boring) - in that sense, there's always something to do so there should never be boredom. Unless the boredom is found in what you're doing... like hoovering the house or changing the bed sheets. I find that quite boring.
Agreed, some of the daily necessities of life can definitely be a bit dull to deal with! Thankfully, they tend to be fairly temporary.
What many people seem to find challenging, but I do not, is not having something going on all the time. I don't really need to be busy or active all the time, I'm often quite content just sitting and not thinking or worrying about anything in particular. I think we're pretty much on the same page on this one!
We're definitely on the same page on this one! The idea of "doing nothing" is a conscious decision not to be "doing something" - I feel it's even more valuable now that I have children!
