I am bored.
Not the constructive kind of boredom where you have nothing to do. The
boredom I am suffering from is of the more destructive, soul destroying
kind.
It’s not that I have nothing to do. There are lots of things I could
be doing, lots of things I should be doing and an awful lot of things I
need to be doing. I just cannot find the motivation to get of my
beautifully formed derriere and do something. Even typing this is a real
effort.
The trouble with doing nothing is that it leaves you a lot of time to
sit and ponder. All day I sit and think about things that I cannot answer.
What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? What does the future hold?
None of these questions can be answered rationally and the more I think
the more depressed I get. The future scares me. This is because I do not
know what is in it. Seems fairly obvious really but to me it is
terrifying. At the moment I have a reasonable level of security. I live at
home, my parents feed me and do an awful lot of stuff for me. What scares
me is that in a couple of years I do not know where I will be. But what I
do know is that it will not be as good as it is now. I suppose I am scared
of getting old. Scared because I know that no matter what I do I will
become my parents. I do not want that to happen but it is inevitable. One
day I will become that which I despise. Don't get me wrong I like my
parents, they are great-Most of the time. But I don't like what they buy
in to. The world I hate. With all it's beurocracy, spineless politicians,
social injustices blah blah blah. I could go on forever. But what really
gets me is the blatant hypocrisy and the greed. Now I'm not immune to
being a bit of a hypocrite myself, we all are. But nothing on the scale I
see around me everyday. Self interest is the curse of our society.
Everybody is concerned about the homeless/starving/*insert problem area*
and want to help so long as it doesn't affect them. I would respect people
a lot more if they just said look I don't give a shit. But that's not very
politically correct is it
