Boredom is not a problem to be solved, it's the privilege of a free mind
Boredom isn't the act of having nothing to do.  That's idleness.Boredom is a problem of a lack of satisfaction.  There's various reasons for that but I believe having too much to do, and too much stress is what leads to boredom.  People have an amount of attention they can pay to any topic before they need to rest.  You can only listen to a song for so long before it stops being pleasant and starts being annoying.  You can only hear the same story so many times before it gets boring.When you are bored, sometimes idleness can even be a fine replacement.  If you're bored, and you decide to go and sit in a chair in the sun with a nice cold drink, that's a nice response.What boredom is, is when you're in class or at work, and you need to keep doing some routine behavior, but you need a break, you need a change, but you can't.  Boredom is the feeling that you have to fight in order to keep doing something that your whole reward system of your brain has told you you've had enough of.Boredom isn't something good.  It's something damaging.  It's a condition where your mind is tired of a particular action, but you don't have the agency to make a change in your situation to suit that.
