βThe speed drunk monkey acts faster than it thinks.β Donald C. Peattie. Boredom is the greatest power in the human universe, it raises empires, brings them down, and destroys whole ecosystems if not the planet. Just about everything that ever happened in history happen because someone/some-people ( usually men, sorry if that is sexist but you know it is true, ) were bored.
i think it was T.S. Eliot who said the main reason that there is so much strife & misery in the world is b/c men can't sit in a room by themselves & enjoy their own company.
Yes I had that in mind when I wrote the post. Ninety percent of the thing we do and of the resouces we use are just because we can not sit still or just go for a walk.
