Boredom brushes me.
I need to shake off,
I stretch my arm.
I need to shake off,
Leg bounces.
Going through tedium.
Throwing away my life.
Bad conscience.
I need to shake off,
I change position.
Repeating my patterns.
Time to reflect.
Trying not to drift away into daydreaming.
I disengage.
Coming back to the focused mind,
again engaged.
But why would they even experience boredom?
Quoting Heidegger:
“Being bored is the fundamental state of being a human being”.
Being bored alone,
turning on the social boredom simulation.
Being bored together,
lounging and hanging around.
Such a privilege.
Time and space to be bored.
Does it make you motionless or motionful?
Significance of silence.
As Mikkel wrote in one of his reflection:
The boredom is showing itself, boredom sometimes turns into a peaceful state of nothing in me.
