Prompt: The Daily Topic: "What goes on in your head? To not be bored, people often do interesting stuff. Write about a 'game' you play with the world in order to 'kill' boredom."
Boredom is a state of monotony in the mind. Though people tend to blame boredom on circumstances, it is usually themselves they are bored with. It could be due to problems or one is profoundly dissatisfied with his/her life. Prolonged boredom can lead to depression or a drug addiction. Boredom can also be linked to mental fatigue or due to the same tasks being performed everyday. Techniques are available to kill boredom.
I do feel bored and weary like all human beings; due to the same monotonous activities being carried on day after day. Going out with friends or shopping is a great way to kill boredom before it becomes a parasite leading one to depression. I also kill boredom by watching a movie, reading a book or simply playing a game.
Games tend to be usually indoor games such as computer games which are available 24hrs on the internet. A few of my favourite games are the card games such as FreeCell, hearts and solitaire. Also many game sites are available which can help you get out of boredom.
It is important to get out of boredom, find a focus in life and have something to live for. Be it for family or for oneself, you can’t let your life become meaningless with boredom. A sure cure to boredom according to Ellen Parr:
The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.
As long as the mind is active, we are active. I wonder how easily we utter the word boredom as we grow older. As children, we never had any troube playing by ourselves!
