“Are people willing to live in a place that is boring, in exchange for economic stability and solvency?”
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Boring is a state of mind, not a place. Anyone who is bored has only himself to blame. Some people might look at my life and say that I am a boring person but I am never bored.
Years ago Paul Harvey read an on air quotation from someone to the effect that being educated means that a person can spend an hour sitting and waiting for a bus or an airline flight with nothing to read, nobody to talk to and nothing else for amusement (cell phones, gameboys and such didn’t exist at the time) and never be bored. In other words an educated person could spend that time visualizing solutions to problems, mentally writing a poem or something but never would they be bored.
Nothing spells immaturity quite like someone who complains to others about being bored or calls other people or places boring. Anytime I feel the slightest hint of boredom I find something to dispel that feeling. I may be happy, I may be sad, I may be angry, I may be frightened, I may even go mad but I refuse to be bored.
“Boring is a state of mind, not a place. Anyone who is bored has only himself to blame. Some people might look at my life and say that I am a boring person but I am never bored.”
I am exactly the same way and I have never felt so much peace in my life.
I like the way you said that, Rip.
I refuse to be bored. BTTT
