Alas! The Boring Day
Life is never boring, but some people choose to be bored. - Wayne Dyer.Discipline doesn't come with the absence of anything but with the presence of everything.Do you really feel bored sometimes? Needless to say, the answer is yes. We, humans are the most intelligent but dissatisfied species of this universe. Predominantly we are exhausted with little things and urging for big things in our lives. Even after accomplishing everything, most people get dissatisfied and feel exhausted at a certain point in time. Humans feel sad, stressed, or even depressed because at some time, they feel the urge to upgrade to something; something they don't even know. They just want to shift their mindset, desires and emotions to something else because mostly they try absorbing energy from tasks, events, people and things than creating energy for them.Do you ever feel bored with everything you love? When was the last time you talked to yourself? Did you ever try knowing what you exactly are? What's your true character? Do we really need people to make us not feel bored? Instead of taking interest in new things, understand, do you really love what you already have? Have you ever observed people who are genuinely happy in what they are doing and even when they are alone? How do you actually accomplish your work? Do you feel anxious while doing it? Or do you do it with a tired mind or body? Always try running away with it? Do you feel like you are doing everything you love but still don't feel satisfied and after a strange feeling haunts you for days? Do you know what really excites us for the whole day? Do you believe, selfish people are irritated and bored at the same time? Do you believe only the takers need help? Are you doing a job where everything is predictable? Are all your days monotonous and almost predictable, and you always have to make other plans to make yourself energetic? Above everything, can you live alone if everyone would abandon you at some point in your life?You don't know your character. Your character knows you.Affirmative, our generation is suffering from these silent ailments where we constantly need someone to satisfy our emotions & not feeling bored. The problem isn't when you need someone, but the problem is when you always need someone to become happy, creative and energetic.We are nothing but trying to fulfil our boredom with something interesting, but in that fulfilment, we forget, what will we do if we eliminate it someday when we really want it?It's excellent to live alone without ever feeling lonely in this world.
