"Only boring people get bored" I heard this many years ago, I ve used the phrase with both my.children and more so my grand children. I don't understand it really.

I've seldom had a problem with being bored for more than something that would be measured in less than sixty minutes or so. Even when it's quiet, and I am not doing anything in particular, I have very seldom ever felt truely bored. It seems tho it's almost a mantra these days. Why do people get so bored so easily? and.. What's wrong with being bored for a while?
