….Boredom can also encourage innovation….It can drive the thoughtful to question the accepted and to seek out beneficial change…Boredom should not be abused, exploited, ignored, sneered at, rejected or talked down to as a product of laziness or of an idle, uninventive and boring mind. It’s there to help, and its advice should be welcomed and acted upon. That many of us suffer from it should be no cause for embarrassment.

from “The Thrill of Boredom” by Peter Toohey.
