Why be bored?

We often hear others say in their downtime, "I am so bored." Wow, why be bored? I know that there are circumstances where an individual may be incapable of doing anything constructive and I am not talking about those cases here.

If a person is able to physically do something, if they are able to read, if they are able to provide service of any kind to others, then there is almost never a reason to be bored. All too often, this boredom is manifested in watching TV or even worse, getting into trouble of some kind.

Boredome is really a lack of intersting activities being pursued by a person. You don't have to be rich to not be bored, but you should be rich in interests. Simply reading is doing something. Excellent books are available at the public library.

I think that the act of combating boredom is simply the initiative to take action and do sometbing interesting. Am I wrong?
