When asked to define “boredom” recently, I came up with this ‘masterpiece’:
Boredom: an external symptom of the deeper inability to be at peace with oneself, characterized by restlessness and by discontent at the inability of external stimuli to permanently fill a soul-shaped void in one’s life.
(Yes, I did tag this wisdom. Tags don’t always mean what they mean; their vācyârtha can be overriden by a lakṣyârtha, and sometimes they suggest a vyaṅgyârtha over and above and/or alongside that.)
