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

Tfl Smelly foods ad sinister or savoury

I noticed this poster on the under ground saying please don't eat smelly food and this got me thinking
what foods don't smell
the smell of food is part of the process of tasting
From fresh baked cookies to cod and chips
also that there is no reason given why they don't want people to eat smelly food on the tube
Also their is nothing saying not to bring smelly food upon the tube and wouldn't that just defeat the object of the poster and its plea
And wouldn't eating the smelly food reduce the mass of smelly food and you get left with the less area based aroma
But the more analytic side of me finds that this is a polite way of being rude for the smelly food seems not to mean one of an english variety but of an other sort
Also the absence of reasoning behind it is also suspect if it were because other people may be hungry it would go against the capitalist nature of the underground which whores its walls and even its carriages with adverts advertising all manner of things and the fact exiting certain tube station one is sometimes made aware of the nearest "restaurant" usually being MacDonald's

If it is distress it kinds of questions the morality of the people who are being distressed for is it over sensitiveness is it because the smell is putrid and if so i don't think anyone will be eat food as such like a raw fish straight from the market and since london is such a multicultural place any food brought upon its tube and train service will have a shop of origin it can be purchased at even if the food is homemade
so what is the main difference between whiffing it on the street to that of the train
the answer people would say is duration
but the tube is a beehive of interconnection how long could one be on a tube line with someone with "odourous food" maximum an hour and even if they weren't eating it what could they do about the smells on their person

food is made for consumption so foul smelling foods will in general be avoided except for the durian which is not epidemically eaten in the uk undergrounds which gets you on to who complained about food on the underground and who was more worried about them eating said food than having said food unless they also worried about them having said food but knew you couldn't ban it so went pc with don't eat

Also since it is merely a suggestion a request what would stop the people eating smelly food are they going to  have smelly food enforcers patrolling the tube tram and railways and call them something pc like environment supervisors

i won't jump to say its pc racism but it indefinably something covert which fails to address any questions and adds more to the bunch

p.s. will they start recommending non smelly foods with the tube map
