Introduction

Understanding Boredom

I

f you find that you are bored, your schedule is, has been faulty, or your execution of it is suboptimal or hampered in some way, and of course you are in dearth of joy. It is said that an idle mind is the devil’s workshop, boredom and idleness do go hand in hand, and being bored could be a sign that something needs to get done.

I don’t know about you but I am yet to encounter a man or woman who has never experienced boredom—unless such were all round perfect. I am yet to meet an individual¹ who has in the frame of their life span never had a moment when they were unsure what to do to feel good.

Unless that person was immaculate or didn’t live long enough to be conscious of the world and the problems in it, you can reasonably assume that they had been bored at some point in life. Whether such boredom lasts five minutes or several months, boredom is boredom.

I have observed that the kind of thoughts which give birth to a lot of wrong deeds in the world were often hatched while the perpetrators were engrossed in one shade of boredom or the other. Lots of crimes committed are evidences of their perpetrators lack of meaningful engagement in profitable, noble or commendable activities.

Out of the need to ward off boredom, people resort to many kinds of evil. This is so they can get to feel good or soothe their consciences with the thinking that their time was meaningfully utilized. They may drink to stupor, party hard or drug themselves to oblivion in an attempt to enjoy time.

Such people, usually, do not realize that boredom and the innate desire to escape it were at the root of what they currently do. As such, if they were to stop the vices they were doing, they would feel bored and may again begin to have the urge to do something that would make them to feel good—something that would take away the feeling of boredom.

Boredom is one of the chief things that make moral decadence attractive to those who engage in the same. When a person is bored, they become much more susceptible to the most trivial of ideas, and unless the ideas are more boring than the boredom which already obtains, they may accept or heed such an idea hook line and sinker. Whether an idea is good or bad, as long as a person is bored and doesn’t see anything they could do to feel good they may take those up.

Since the world is inundated with degenerate media content and social associations, bored people are all the more vulnerable. You can find people, out of sheer boredom engaging in various shades of vices. Sometimes, they may at best engage in frivolities that are to no one’s good, all in an effort to escape the original root of their problem—boredom.

Financial poverty is a major predisposing factor to boredom, and just like a lack of understanding, the twin factors
