I ask that same question all the time. It seems the US is not nearly as exciting and fun as it used to be back in the 90s and earlier, but now, ppl and T.V. have just lost their spark. I guess because things are alot more repressed and not as open because of the US govt. nowadays. The rest of the world is much more exciting though.

That's a good question. I work nights and a lot of the time is spent looking at CCTV, some cleaning, health and safety checks in the building, and dealing with anything else that comes along. And, just sitting there! And it can be boring.
Yet, previous employment has involved working to deadlines and stress.
So, I spend my spare time editing a Buddhist text, contributing to an internet study group, writing a book, gardening, going to a social club, and reading. All I need is a nice lady to share this with, and things wil be okay.
But, at least I don't wake at 3am thinking "did I do this right, get that wrong etc." as in previous jobs.
Also, I walk more slowly and can connect more with what I see around me instead of rushing around.

Nothing is boring in this life if and only if you know how to deal with everything. If you put your heart in all the things that you do then surely you'll discover that even silence is not boring. Learn to value and love the things that you do and you'll simply realize that all the things that you do are worthy and not boring. Think positively for things only have value when you think they are of worth. Always put in your mind that all you do is for the love of God, our creator.

It sounds like you have lost your passion for life. You need to find a friend that can give you an injection of joy for life and for living. You need to stop and take a look at the world. Go out to the country, visit parks, see waterfalls, travel and then you will find out that things are not boring. There are no boring subjects, only boring people, so you need to find exciting people to fill your life with, cuz you can't do it on your own. Some people can find joy in every thing, but obviously you are not one of them, so you need to find exciting people to help you find excitement.

I feel the same way at times. Only when i'm thinking about next year when i'll be moving. I'm so ready for that but it's taking to long so i find a lot of things boring now. I guess it's how you look at it. Be more adventurous :)

Instead of being bored go out and discover life, who you are, what your passion is. Look at things as adventures, new opportunities to learn, experiences that have to be repeated because we haven't learned the lesson yet. Concentrate on getting the most out of every experience, even boredom has something to teach us.

Learn to love boredom. If you have the luxury of being bored, your life's okay. Believe me, when things start getting stressful and complicated, you'll long for these boring days.
I love being bored in the summer. I can surf the web, watch movies, build or fix stuff, take photos of random things, whatever. Boredom is good.

Only boring people are bored. It's caused by a lack of imagination or initiative.

Because you still have not reached the point where you discovered your inner soul and what brings joy to your heart.
