Finally, I would question your umption that boredom is the result of being mentally alone. We are hardly ever alone, mentally or otherwise. Society invades every nook and cranny in the thought and emotional processes of the human being. Boredom is more the result of our constant demand for exictment and it not being fulfilled.

For the mind that …
For the mind that is generally engaged and interested in life, a lapse into boredom can kick-start the reflective process. As soon as the reflective process begins (which will of course include self-observation/self-enquiry and investigation into why boredom arose in the first place), then of course boredom will evaporate like mist in a summers sun.

I agree that when one is swamped with constant activity there is hardly time for anything—boredom or reflection. Such is the life of most people today—there is hardly time to reflect deeply, and this is why we end up with government as we know it.

I suppose it was more like boredom => reflection. Obviously, you only need yourself to reflect, and when you’re bored you’re more or less mentally alone, so boredom is basically an invitation for reflection. On the contrary, when I’m actively doing something there often isn’t much time available for me to reflect while doing it. I can’t multitask very well.

“yep. have fun buying stuff with the taxpayers money.” Not tax payer money. The back of your currency says “federal reserve note”.

Years from now Ron Paul will address congress as he always does, but this time it will be his shortest speech ever. “Ladies and Gentlemen and Members of Congress. I told you so.”

Reflection is a …
Reflection is a perfect example of an abiding interest in life, and therefore I would suggest that reflection is not only ‘all-right’ but essential. Boredom, on the other hand, is a perfect example of a disinterest in life. How did you make the leap: boredom = reflection?

QED indeed.
You should try to be bored once in a while. It allows you to reflect more easily, in my opinion, and reflection is alright.

The irrefutable …
The irrefutable conclusion of impartial observation regarding the question of boredom can only be that people who have an enthusiasm and abiding interest in life rarely, if ever, get bored. On the other hand, air-heads are constantly bored. To conclude: I cant remember the last time I was bored—how about you? QED!

So, only a person that bores others becomes bored? A boring person can only be a boring person if he bores others, so if he bores others, those he makes bored are boring people themselves? What if those that are made bored by the original boring person don’t make others bored, yet are bored themselves with the original boring person. Are they boring because they are bored?
Tell me more about this “experience” of yours.

A blind person may or may not be bored, depending on the level of intellect and the general interest in life. In my experience, only boring people become bored.

I suppose this means that a blind person will never be bored their entire life, correct?
