Concept Overview

Boredom always comes to people at an inappropriate time. It is the representation of laziness, lack of self-control, and a sense of chaos. But is this inevitable emotion really a negative quality? What is the connection between this feeling and people’s control for real life? Are the “need to do” and “positive”activities really that fulfilling? Or is the way we relieve boredom help alleviate the emptiness?
