Boredom is the result of expecting too much. It’s an addiction to cultural stimulation. It’s like a withdrawal symptom, but that withdrawal is an opportunity if you allow silence to be your friend. Silence can be a doorway to peace.

Silence feels boring because we don’t spend enough time in it. It’s not just about being in a quiet environment—you also have to quiet your inner chatter and sit with that void until there’s an opening.

We think we’re solving problems by running constant internal monologues, but they’re actually distractions that keep us unsettled. We don’t even know who we truly are or what we actually think until we’re comfortable in silence. That’s where truth emerges, because that’s when we stop hiding from ourselves.
