Just A Thought ~ THE DISEASE OF BOREDOM

"People of wealth and the so-called upper class suffer the most from boredom."

~ Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860), German Philosopher ~

Indeed, it is an affliction of the affluent, perhaps one of the prices we must pay for having the luxury of time. Not only that, but it’s a communicable disease ~ that is, dis-ease ~ for it doesn’t allow us to be comfortable or at ease. We can’t imagine people in poor countries or places of great suffering and deprivation getting bored, as they have no time for that; each day for them is a matter of how to find enough to eat, and they have not much choice over that, as we do. Shall we change places with them? I don't think so.
