[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trouble is, when you’re in your late 40s and suddenly find yourself out of a job, you might really miss the structure and (albeit tiny) sense of purpose it provided. [/quote]

LOL I have so many other things I could do[/quote]

Have you ever really had an unending span of time in front of you to do them, though? Things look a little different when you finally get there.[/quote]

As we tell our kids: [b]only boring people get bored[/b]. I’m truly sorry that you require a boss to tell you how to spend your time, and a job in order to feel useful. [/quote]

Haha, this is not true. [/quote]

:roll:

Obviously it’s not literal.  But it is a call to make your own meaning, entertainment, purpose, etc. rather than waiting around for someone else to do it for you.[/quote]

In that case I agree with you. Boredom is important because it spurs us on to reflection, action, creativity.

In my previous response I had read your post through the lens of an old in-law encounter, where he was weirdly bragging that he "had never been bored," as if that was a sort of virtue instead of an indicator of a dull mind.[/quote]
