You know how everyone these days is decrying the current state of our society?
They’re saying we’re desensitized to violence, sex, aquafresh toothpaste, and all that jazz…
Well, I’d like to add another item to the desensitizing list: boredom.
That’s right. I’m desensitized to boredom. I have no idea whether or not I’m bored anymore.
You might ask how something like this could happen.
Well, I’ll tell you.
Think of the 3 most boring things you can imagine. Got ’em? Is FedEx-ing on there? It should be. I don’t want to put any pressure on you, but you really should give FedEx-ing some strong consideration. Trust me. I mean, think about whatever you want, but seriously. FedEx-ing. Woo. Boring. But I’ll let you roll on with your own choices.
Anyways, imagine doing these 3 most boring activities all day, everyday.
Just as seeing violence on TV and hearing about it in songs causes desensitization… is that a word? I don’t know, but I’m going to go with it… just as those things cause desensitization, so does the repetitive action of FedEx-ing… or whatever else was on your little list.
So, there it is. I’m desensitized to boredom. I’m going to go back to work. Although, I guess it doesn’t really matter what I go back to because it’s all the same to me…
