Two Contributing Factors of Boredom

*Some parts are corrected by Microsoft Word.

I’m often bored of the world because people waste their time doing seemingly pointless things. For example, watching an episode of a series could cost them at least two hours of their precious life. What’s more, some happy citizens spend their whole adult live working 24-7. That is not to say being diligent isn’t good, but there are many ways to overwork. Is it really worthwhile to gain some valuable paper and stone in exchange with health and time? However, the irony part of all this is that when one doesn’t have those time-wasting things to do, one feels even worse. The feeling is called boredom, which is the same pattern of chemical reactions with one buoying in my head. With the above thoughts in mind, I would now begin to ponder the causes of boredom, a thing that have urged all humankind to think, say and act.

First, boredom could be attributed to the nature of all matter in the universe. As Buddha has wisely preached a long time ago, nothing is really static. That is, all the creatures and the objects are subject to constant change. Do you remember what you’re looked like when you were, say, a fetus in your mom’s womb? Don’t you see you have changed a lot since then? So do all the inanimate. How long have you been using your current computer? Is it working in the same perfect condition it once was when you bought it? If yes, do you think it would be so in fifty years from now? All human thoughts, speech, and acts are a part of nature too, hence the mandatory state. An NDS that delighted you last summer might now be left in a shabby corner of the house. Admit it. You’re bored of it after having played it for 500 or more times day after day. It wasn’t your fault, or so it seems. The chemical process in your brain doesn’t treat the game console as an attractive something anymore. It is, therefore, the very reason that makes you feel bored at times—the natural development (or decaying?) of mind.

The other point to stress as a source of boredom is that one’s lifestyle is drastically modified recently. Early generations’ people surely don’t get bored that easily, not when they must hunt for their lives. To be frank, who on Earth could yawn lazily while a mammoth is chasing? Moreover, the life span was short. Even in 1500 B.C.—only 500 years before—the life expectation of a newborn baby is only 25-30 years, according to a certain book I couldn’t quite spell its name. Consequently, there wasn’t that much time to get used all to the miracle of the blue planet, Earth. Nowadays, on the contrary, we have plenty of free time. It is not unusual anymore to have two holidays per week, namely, Saturday and Sunday. Besides, we now live to as much as 70 or even 80 years. The world, thus, has much more lessons of earthly unhappiness in store for us. It is our blessing of medical treatment that trigger the phenomenon.

In conclusion, boredom is just a part of normal modern life. So, we all must face it somehow, sooner or later. There seems to be no escape route from it, as starting to do something to get rid of boredom is also the start line of another case of boredom in the future. Yet, that is not to say we must live in such desperation forever. The last example is my own case. I now feel like going to watch a clip on Youtube.com right after having finished the essay. Of course, writing sure is a challenging pastime, isn’t it?
