Good morning everyone, a busy morning ahead, it's "shopping day" for my daughter, autistic people shop a bit differently that the rest of us, it involves a lot of walking too (that's good for me).
Boredom
Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?
~Friedrich Nietzsche
Boredom is a form of conceit. When we are bored we are saying, “Okay, life, you are not doing your job of keeping me entertained.” To think that life or those around us or the world itself is here primarily to keep us amused and entertained is “Stinking thinking.”
This thinking can screw up our attitude and take us back to the point where our addiction seems like the only way out of that boredom. We may be miserable, but at least we aren’t bored, we think.
Those who learn to work the program find that life is far from boring. Each day brings many quiet moments of joy, compassion, and insight. Rich serenity replaces the empty landscape of boredom.
