English: A bored person (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
During my past years lots of people believed that my physical health problems were caused by my "lonely life", or lack of activities. But the truth is, I had no time to feel lonely or bored during all the past years because I was so mentally fully occupied with my physical problems. Only starting from very recently, when I am physically feeling well, I start having this "luxurious" or "metaphysical" mental issue: feeling bored and occasionally even a bit lonely. Ironic, isn't it? And while I am feeling bored I also feel quite happy, by acknowledging that I am finally "normal" again!
So true, yunyi, and ironic as you say. A person with a toothache never feels bored. Their whole consciousness is preoccupied with their pain. It's only healthy people who have time to wonder what they might be missing out in life.
ReplyDeletethanks marty! the advantage of being so sick for so long is i can be happy even when i am bored.
