Boredom

I hate being bored it’s because it does not give me energy to do the things that I want to do. It’s like I’m losing my adrenalin in my body and my mind is not working. Sometimes I do weirdo things just to release myself from boredom. I could not help biting my nails sometimes because that’s one of the solutions I know. It seems funny and disgusting though but it is my way of escaping from losing interest into something. In fact I often daydreamed in a way that I’m just thinking that I’m like Alice travelling in wonderland. I feel happy when I walk away from reality and go to a world where there’s full of fantasy. Daydreaming for me is very effective for human minds could travel in other dimension. At least throughout daydreaming I lose the tension of being bored.

Boredom is when someone perceives one's environment as dull,you hate boredom?
i agree. who wants boredom anyway?? i have never known a person who loves it. People often experience boredom in circumstances where they are forced to wait a long time

There is an inherent anxiety in boredom, people will expend considerable effort to prevent or remedy it, yet in many circumstances it is accepted as an inevitable suffering to be endured. we have the same solution , sometimes i also bite my nsils. :)

i also agree that day dreaming is an effective solution for boredom.A common way to escape boredom is through creative thoughts or daydreaming. if you are thinking that you are like Alice travelling in wonderland..in my case.. i am sam milby kissing with anne.:)

jel, I could definitely relate with your topic. I used to bite my nails whenever I experience boredom. My mom even calls me "matsing" when she happen to see me biting my nails. But there are a lot of remedies to fight boredom. Let's get a little bit serious. Do you know that boredom can undermine prayer and meditation and signal the failure of religious imagination? If you engage it seriously, however, it can also be the starting point for philosophical reflection and spiritual insight. It can serve as a prelude to the discovery or rebirth of religious meaning.Being bored with someone or something can represent a trivial matter--being bored with one's clothes or a magazine article--or a matter of significant consequence--being bored with one's marriage or the music one loves to play. Boredom can signify a moral failure or the presence of virtue.
So to fight boredom, just pray because this could be a perfect moment for discernment...=)

"That Boar, damn!"


Whistling like a restless wind in the hood.

That Boar, damn!

Chasing butterflies alone in the garden.

That Boar, damn!

Milking the lactating nails of joy and sorrow.

That Boar, damn!

Singing like a lunatic in the soul asylum of dreams.

That Boar, damn!

Hearing the piano meditating like a monk with missing teeth.

That Boar, damn!

Standing on the edge of summer in a cinderella dress.

That Boar, damn!

Whipping out pains' monkey asses.

Leaving me in ashes,
passion burning like cigarette paper.

Alice, I wish you'll find your shelter

in your finger
growing small fluorescent flowers

forever.

And that is 'no boredom.'

Hello jel, I know boredom sucks. That's the feeling I hate to get. It makes you do silly things just to pass your time. I can not imagine life if all we do all day is sit down and get bored. Though the funny part is that I never thought you had the thing for day dreaming. I never tried that yet but I hope it's an effective solution for boredom. I mean when imp bored all I do is close my eyes and sleep. Hehe next time ill try day dreaming instead. Hehe don't worry I won't be Alice in wonderland. I’ll try being a different cartoon character in my world, maybe, Cinderella.hehe well that's it for now. Take care. :)

Wow, I love your article jel, it is so true. At times like this the least things that happens is for the person to daydream. I often experience this, and I also hate the feeling. It gives me the feeling of being alone. Its like you are not sure of what to do yet you do unnecessary and sometimes unpleasant things.
Well I use to love daydreaming actually, it gives me a temporary relief and escape from all the stressful things the world is giving me, but then I realized that at the end of the day I gained nothing, and wasted my time instead. So what I do when times like this attacks is that I try thinking of the possible solutions for my problems, but then i know this doesn’t work all the time. And boredom would always attack us. So maybe times like this are really meant to happen, for us to at least become someone whom we will never be in the normal world.
