Is Life Boring you?

I dislike how posts like these are often very anti-introvert. There's nothing wrong with snubbing your work colleagues' offer of a drink in favour of a good book :-)

A lot of peoples lives aren't boring. They're busy:

- Dying of an infectious disease

- Working to get enough money just to survive

- Starving to death

- Living in fear of violence

I think you're doing well as a person if you can count your life as boring.

Boring in terms of routine is not bad. Routine frees your mind for the important things.

Boring can be bad, though. Maybe I would like to do $INTERESTING, but the boring things do not leave enough time. Sure, the common answer is to "make free time in small steps". Nevertheless, family and sickness can eat up all the free time, so you are happy when you get some sleep.

Sometimes. That's one reason why I switched to contracting - a new place, a new job and new people every few months stirs things up a bit. I've also lived (kinda) in three countries.

But going out for a drink more? I'd probably die of liver poisoning. There's barely time to fit in all my friends as it is. The odd 'boring' weekend is something I look forward to :)

No, it does not. Should it?
