Back in 2003, we had something called boredom, Scott Adams (Dilbert) quips:
We’ve won the war on boredom! If you have a smartphone in your pocket, a game console in the living room, a Kindle in your backpack and an iPad in the kitchen, you never need to suffer a minute without stimulation. Yay!
But wait — we might be in dangerous territory. Experts say our brains need boredom so we can process thoughts and be creative. I think they’re right. I’ve noticed that my best ideas always bubble up when the outside world fails in its primary job of frightening, wounding or entertaining me.
I make my living being creative and have always assumed that my potential was inherited from my parents. But for allowing my creativity to flourish, I have to credit the soul-crushing boredom of my childhood.
The inevitable march of progress, from boredom to distraction. Vive la révolution!
Well if your soul is crushed you must have one. Ergo… God. And He speaks in the “still small voice”. He wants us in a relationship, but we must be open to Him just like any relationship, and they require time and concentration.. That involves a choice. So see if He will speak to you. Put down the stuff and go into the quiet.
