Boredom/idleness=Broaden/investment

I am currently watching a film which  i will review later on

which brought me back to this topic 

the sometimes synonymous 

interchangeable 

interloping

interlocking

Boredom and idleness

Views have a perspective and this has a western city perspective 

boredom is a worry and fear of many people

it is moaned it is groaned

and at every turn banished but for some to regularly raise its head again

Some say boredom is eternal foe of humanity 

but is it boredom or idleness

we have all heard of the saying the devil makes work of idle hands 

which the response is to be busy with your hands

but the saying is only half of the equation 

we can think of boredom as a comma and idleness as a full stop the calm before the storm

i myself cannot remark on the last time i was bored 

i personally think within a city it is impossible to bored 

whereas idleness is around every corner the interlude the interval 

between events

which bertrand russell goes into great depths to discuss 

 but it rose to my attention i said before because of this film

the character retorts how humans have been given the 

human anatomy

the understanding of to a degree

they have nature 

they have cosmos 

and i add they have the internet and they are bored

then it got me thinking what people get bored

and what people get idle 

sheep get bored

and wolves or foxes get idle

whereas these coming days of holiday for some they will be 

chasing lights and others in an attempt to not be bored 

this festive period i was given some food for thought 

what do you do with family 

and when i saw these archaic games 

i chuckled to myself of how people 

lost the art of entertaining themselves

one may say that the entertainment has evolved 

but in what sense 

that with the archaic games ones mind as well as eyes had to be engaged in the case of scrabble

monopoly chess and so forth yes you can get them electronically

but how popular is it 

as with films how many blockbuster movies are there devoid of explosions and eye candy

but i digress 

i now refer to a previous post on the film limitless  

how one can be limited within the limitless 

and that the problems are of the mind but are wrongly being attacked through the body

for some one phrase can keep them occupied for hours perhaps days 

i even conversed through a social medium 

with a person who claimed to not have uttered a word for three days

i remarked at how he managed to do so

 more from the point of others boredom attempting to encroach on his idleness 

for with idleness one can find themselves or see things that one through the hustle and bustle would miss

but with boredom the bandwagons are bountiful

for me boredom is blasphemy but shows ones sense of sight 

for within a room in the average household are a million questions 

you never thought to ask

from how do tvs work or radios or mobile phones

how many hairs are on a head 

how long can you not speak for 

could i reverse engineer the products in my house

could i read the dictionary from cover to cover

etc

some may say they dont have time but they make time to battle boredom and also why not change that they time is preoccupied 

i will leave on this 

if boredom leads to following what does idleness lead to

and if this continues

where will society end up 

the people who succumb to boredom a majority on one side 

and idleness on another
