I don’t ever remember being bored as a child. Today, however, I see boredom everywhere. Why is this? Why is it that when every recreational desire is fulfilled at the push of a button, people are so bored and discontented? It seems clear to me that you can only find true fulfilment by actively engaging with the world and those with whom you share it.
