In a world where instant gratification is just a click away so is boredom. For in the not to distant past we actually had to wait to listen or watch what stimulated our mind and body which enabled us to look forward to the next time that event would occur. Yet today you can have it all anytime and anyplace you want. The epidemic is that when many people get bored they can act out in ways that are bad for themselves or society as a whole. Whether it be using dangerous drugs , producing video’s which hurt others, violent demonstrations etc.. Maybe it’s time we teach our young people that sometimes the best things come to those that wait a bit longer and allow us to hold onto the excitement way past the boredom.
