” The cure for boredom is curiosity . There is no cure for curiosity.” – Ellen Parr
Maybe.
But you know what curiosity does to cats…

Repetition in nature, exponential pinkness.
The flowers aren’t bored(refer the previous post)by it; neither is the feeding bee (bonus prize for spotting it!).
Boredom
“A certain power of enduring boredom is essential to a happy life”
-Bertrand Russell
I can get easily bored. Like the boat lying on the mudflats at low tide, stasis can grip when there is no motion and there are no waves to ride .Sometimes the sameness of daily life palls. I suspect we all feel that way, maybe about completely different things.
But I have to recognise that life largely consists of boring bits; it cannot always be a highlights reel. Those places, people and things which can become overly familiar are also the very items that ground me in this life. We need to express gratitude for the mundane as well as the shooting star moments.
I am not saying that we do not need to change it up when we get stuck in a terminal rut, for that too is sometimes necessary .However,coping with boredom is actually a life skill in itself, like the art of conversation or apologising when we screw up. Developing a positive outlook and coping strategies for boredom are essential. Low tide times and desert experiences are inevitable. We do not necessarily need to seek more “stuff “or to busy ourselves just to alleviate boredom, but we are all guilty of that. Actually embracing the tedious or the just plain necessary will help get us through it. And,without boredom, we would not appreciate excitement when it arrives.
Just remember ,someone else would probably kill for your “boring”!
