Abstract

If my brother or I complained that we were bored as children, my mother went off on a tear. "You aren't bored. You are boring. Look around you. You have every possible way to entertain yourselves from dozens of toys to the great outdoors." (Or something like that.) Her point was that being bored is a choice and a luxury.
