Like you, I am very rarely bored, but I have perhaps fitted less into my life than you have. Many people have boring jobs that they cannot avoid, but outside work we have choices. It is hard not to conclude that many positively enjoy boredom. We are far from bored on a trip to Australia currently. We saw a happy koala walking along the road today, not looking bored. Is boredom a uniquely human condition?
