Who's a-bored, huh??

[✪ Miscreation ⚥ ☯ 🎭]

Many people claim to be bored nowadays, but are you really? We used to be bored 'till the late 90''s and I mean REALLY BORED. There used to be nothing to do and adults couldn't care less for their kids, they used to just fake it to family and strangers. Kids had no money, nothing to do, and we got punished for anything older people could blame us for even if we had nothing to do with what happened in any case.

Nowadays the internet grant us access to anything online 24/7. You can buy a game here on Steam and just press Install then Play and that's it. You don't even have go to outside to a store and then pray to the computer/console god or your choice that the damn cartridge/cd/dvd works.

Are we really bored or we miss something else, like friends, company, healthy competition? Living in a group, not isolated with a damn screen shoving projected lights non-stop to our faces?

I don't understand how people can be bored. I want to do so much but there is no time after work

Kids went outside in the 90s and prior.

That's because people aren't bored nowadays, but overstimulated.
They don't feel anything by adding some stimulation, and the most natural feeling to it is boredom, so it gets thought of as such.
.. However, unlike boredom, this one can't be fixed by providing yet another stimulation, which in the end makes it even worse and more difficult to deal with.

it was just really boring back then tho... you don't want to go back to that...

anyone remember waiting 6-8 MONTHS for the prize from the box of cereal to come in the mail?

just dial back on the stimulation
put the cellphone down
turn off the second monitor
stop drinking soda and eating candy
its too late for most people though, they're eternally hopped up on psychiatric meds that have permanently altered their brain chemistry as they ping-pong between prescriptions

I'm only bored, because actions and choices I've made
