Hey, Vsauce. Michael here.
Action and
danger is exciting but this
is a fake gun and the process
of enlarging a hole, like the barrel of a gun, is called
boring. Boring. Boring a hole
is a slow process requiring repetitive movements from a tool that goes in
circles,
which may be why things that are slow and repetitive and don't appear to be going
anywhere
came to be described with the same word. They're boring. But why do we get
bored and why does it matter? Evidence of being
temporarily uninterested in anything happening - boredom -

Boredom is a feeling we don't like. It's
uncomfortable but it's trivial, right? I mean, boredom happens to all of us but

we have Facebook and Twitter and YouTube and texting and Candy Crush
to keep ourselves occupied. So, really,
who cares? Well, here's the thing.
Physical pain, heartbreak and nausea are also
uncomfortable but they're caused by dangerous
serious toxic things, whereas boredom
occurs when you are merely disinterested in the outside world
and the inner world of your thoughts, when you are
alone with just yourself. So,

Arthur Schopenhauer said that "if life possessed
in itself a positive value in real content,
there would be no such thing as boredom. Mere existence would fulfil
and satisfied us." But apparently it doesn't
because boredom exists. Is something wrong
with being, or is something
awesome about us? Nearly 200 hundred years ago Giacomo Leopardi wrote in a
letter to his father
"boredom is the most sublime of all human emotions because
it expresses the fact that the human spirit, in a certain sense,
is greater than the entire universe. Boredom
