An essential aspect of human experience is boredom
It is an emotion, and is cerebral and situational
A sense of emptiness and isolation
Monotony causes it
More of aristocratic attribute boredom is
In the midst of too much one suddenly get bored
A poor man can’t afford it; less pervasive in simpler cultures
Not always a waste of time
Gives opportunity for introspection
Work boredom is conscious
Leisure boredom is unconscious
Both are the causes of distraction
Distractions often help
By providing non-demanding break
Boredom is expensive
Not everyone can afford it
