When You’re Bored – Do NOTHING
You are bored because you seek to be entertained. To seek is to be seeking. You seek it through hedonism and stimulation. It numbs you. Whatever you abuse – turns right against you. It’s simply unnatural. It’s not how homo sapiens fucking works. When you are bored — do NOTHING. If there’s a …
