• Boredom was the birthplace of creativity and imagination.​

• You solved problems and entertained yourself without constant supervision or technology.​

• You learned to wait, be patient, and accept that you could not have everything instantly.​

• You respected rules, boundaries, and other people’s property and space.​

• You worked for what you wanted and understood the value of money and effort.​

• You learned by doing things in the real world instead of just consuming information.​

• You accepted that life is not always fair and developed resilience and grit.

• You valued real‑world community, relationships, and face‑to‑face connection.

• You understood that life does not need to be optimized and constantly improved to be meaningful.​

I honestly can’t remember ever being bored in my life...we had inner lives and lives of imagination that lots of kids don’t seem to have now.

You respected rules, boundaries, and other people’s property and space.

Correct; and there was a proper way to approach, and be, on somebody else's property.

I’m GenX, and my Boomer parents raised me like this, thank the Lord. We raised our kids the same way. It’s too bad that some parents across different generations took the easier parenting options and chose not to raise their kids like they were raised.

You understood that life does not need to be optimized and constantly improved to be meaningful.​

I would improve this one.

What is the meaning of work? Does work make life meaningful?

Rest is after work is meaningful.
