Let me ask you a question.

Do you remember the last time you felt bored?

Just stop for a second, put down your smartphone, and think.

Most people never feel bored nowadays.

Social media and flashy multimedial content is always in your pocket, ready to catch your attention. As soon as you start feeling bored, you can just grab your phone and scroll instagram or tiktok, and you get your lovely dopamine rush. It just make you feel comfortable and instantly satisfied.

Boredom is one of the things that slowly and silently abandoned modern society.

But with boredom comes creativity, and only with creativity and conscious thinking we can build great things as a society.

Embrace boredom, use your time carefully, endure suffering.

You’ll feel the benefits.
