BOREDOM AND LAZINESS

Today is public holiday, i've no order for brownies, no program and no meeting. yesterday's nasi lemak is still plenty, and i'm in no mood to do anything. i just want to laze around and get bored. i found an article in the reader's digest about getting bored on purpose... by being bored late in the afternoon, while preparing my work schedule for tomorrow the blissness of my boredom is interrupted by the appearance of an aquaintance. terkojut hambo. back to being bored... THE BENEFITS OF BOREDOM - Readers digest, Feb 2009, rdasia.com pg 140 BOREDOM'S DOLDRUM were unavoidable, yet also a primodial soup for some of life's most quint essentially human moments.... A long drive home after a frustrating day could force ruminations. A pang of homesickness at a start of a plane ride might put a journey in perspective. increasingly these empty moments are being saturated with productivity, communication and the digital distractions offered by an ever-never ending array of slick mobile devices.... "but we are too busy twirling through the songs on our iPods - while checking email, while changing lanes on the highway - to consider whether we are giving up a good thing? Lolling around in a state of restlessness is one of life's greatest luxuries - one not availavle to creatures that spend all their time pursuing mere survival.... ..... ..... There is a strong argument that boredom - so often parodied as a glassy-eyed drooling state of nothingness - is an essential human emotion that underlies art, literature, philosophy, science and even love" when I was in secondary school, my english teacher asked us to write an essey on Laziness the cons and pros of laziness. During that time, at my immature mind there is no goodness of laziness, you will not pass your exam because you're lazy, become poor, cannot catch a good husband.... but my teacher gave us the other factor of laziness much to our surprises. playing musical instrument, creating arts and inventing new gadgets to simplify chores are the results of being lazy. there was an instance when i asked my son to decorate my cookies, because I had many orders and I cannot cope alone, he did it at night when I was asleep, and in the morning he finished the whole lot. I was surprised how he managed to do it, as i did not expect him to finished knowing that he was not the 'rajin' type.... he told he used a shortcut.... which I never thought of doing, and i've been using his method ever since. well that is some laziness.
