Boredom...

The pain of boredom is placed within the mind by Consciousness as a warning device (this is because we stay asleep and are only awakened by pain).. this warning device is to inform you that you are not using the mind.. most people stop this pain by keeping their minds centered upon work or sports.. but, the 'Wise' use this alarm annunciation as an impetus to drop back into the study of the origin of pain called ego.......... namaste, thomas
