Why do we feel bored?
If I will ask this to another person, he will answer, ???Of course. Because there is nothing to do.???
And I???ll shout right in front of his face, ???You???ve got nothing to do!? Why nothing? You can breathe, drink, eat, study, clean, jump from a building or kill yourself. But nothing to do? How????
Weird, but true. I said only a few of the things which would give us something to do.

But that is my problem. There are a lot of things to be done, but I would still stay on my seat. And I would feel bored, when at that time I should not be for I have a heavy load of things to finish.
This is our problem.
In truth, we do not feel bored. We should not. But we make boredom an excuse from our stressful lives. There are a lot of things to do. In the back of our complaining minds, there are a lot of things to do, but we only think of it as a burden to our lives. So we get stuck with the things that we want to do. Because there is something we do not want to do.
