Why do we get bored?
Is there any other human instinct which causes us more trouble than the feeling of wanting to do something?
Just think about the things we do just because we're bored: lying down on the yellow line of the road, krazy-gluing doorstops in front of rooms, shopping at Wal-mart, bungee jumping off of bridges, travelling...
Granted, the average American does prove that without this drive to do something, we might just vegetate to death watching TV on our couches. This same piece of evidence sort of disproves that we have this drive at all.
Whatever. I have it. Right now. And it sucks. I'm about this close to doing something stupid just to make this uneasy, uncomfortable, unpeaceful feeling go away and restore my mind.
Perhaps I've misidentified it, and it's actually the feeling that something just isn't right in my life; something is missing. If something is missing, then I hope to find it soon, because I like my peace and quiet--and I want it back.
"When everyone cries 'peace and safety,' then the end shall be." (Jesus)
