I'm Bored and Its OK!

Life is filled with a bunch of rotten ironies.. yes I'm going to get all philosophical about the whole ironies in life but it is true! I don't think that in any situation can anyone say.. "I'm happy and completely satisfied". There's always a void, something to fill and that something has kept on eluding me and probably will continue to do so forever.

What is boredom? Boredom is a really pathetic state of mind where we're so inactive that we can barely think of anything else other than how bored we actually are! We never feel the need to do anything in such a rut. It is probably the most frustrating time of my life because as much as I would want to get off my bottom and do something - I just can't! Why on Earth isn't that possible?

I'm beginning to get so bored that I'm reading stuff about boredom. Apparently, boredom is a symptom of depression. Wow, now there's something scary - it makes me want to get up and do something! I have so much to do and no will to do anything. Without motivation and and any inspiration which would make me see the light at the end of the tunnel, I am starting the painful process of self evaluation. What's the void? What can that gap be filled with?

That is, I guess the real million dollar question! At a time where life seems to simple, I want something complicated to come along to spice things up and of course at complicated junctures, I need clarity and simplicity! One of the zillion ironies of life I guess.

The other irony is boredom. When you have loads of work to do, you feel bored because you have the same old routine and want to break away from it. When you don't have much work to do.. you wished you had all the work in the world to do!

At this point, the rambling ends.. and so will the boredom (or so I hope). Hopefully my boredom is not rubbing off on others. At the end of the day, I guess I am always bored but just don’t know it. Not knowing is the best thing.

It is said that “empty vessels make the most noise”…. I’m just beginning to wonder how much noise I’m starting to make.
