I spoke to my father one particularly gloomy day. I asked him how he could stand the mundainness of life.... Didn't he get bored?
He responded that over the years he has found that when life is boring, nothing bad is happening. Therefore, life is good.
I am so mixed when i think about this. Life for me right now, is boring... and yes, I suppose overall it IS good. But do I want to settle for this? Is boring the most I can expect out of life if it means avoiding pain?
No. I can expect more, I can be disapointed, I can learn to cope with the bad... I've done these things. I'm still not sure where I stand.

I don't think boring implies good. Yes it means nothing bad is happening, but I don't think good and bad are complete opposites. I think both can exist together. Bored mean bored and good means good. Good doesn't mean not bad.
