great question……….maybe it is lack of contentment?
I run out of time to do reverything I want! Boredom is a state of mind I think. My kids used to complain of being bored. When I asked them what that meant they couldn’t tell me! So I told them if you don’t know what it is, how can you be bored? Want something to do? I got plenty of jobs for you. They quickly found something to occupy themselves 🙂
A fundamental conflict between our instinctive desires for both comforting predictability and perceptive stimulation. Both valuable instincts, but frustrating one another when in contact.

True – I sometimes find boredom to be sad resistance to the flow of life and sometimes a precious time out of which creativity emerges.

The old saying was ‘boredom is a state of the mind.’ in my own experience, boredom comes with repetition, and a lack of wonderment.

I agree with PVCANN. A lack of wonderment will destroy a mind.

Boredom happens because you don’t value and respect your time alloted by the Almighty.
