The Phenomenon of Boredom

Several years ago I was considering the phenomenon of "boredom". Feeling bored is indeed nothing more than a failure to pay close enough attention. Therefore the solution seems self-evident. When one is feeling bored it signals the need for a change in perception. The possibilities for new perceptions are unlimited, and new perceptions keep "boredom" out of the picture. Begin to see what is in front of you rather than what you learned was there.

 My sense is that much of our societies severe suffering of boredom results from feeling disconnected from our true authentic selves. There are many ways to approach this issue. Simply becoming aware of it is a good beginning.
