I am rarely bored when left to myself. But Henry lived alone in the woods, so people left him alone to get on with the things which interested him. The main time I get bored, is when people think I need amusement and that they can provide it. Maybe that's what he meant when he said, that, he would run a mile if he heard that someone was intending to do him good. LOL

I told my daughter when she was 8 that only boring people got bored and she was smart enough to enjoy herself if she put her mind to it. She never complained and was always able to entertain herself after that.

When my kids whined they were bored, I said they must be boring then, ty o think of what to do that isnt boring. I heard my daughter tell her friends that when they said it

Beautiful pictures as well as great insight in to your mindset. You have too many great pictures I have seen in the past. It would be hard to choose the best. You are right. There is wonderful scenery out there.

You nailed it. Bright people may be more or less stimulated, but are never bored.

Great photos. I would love to frame them and hang them on the walls of my home.

Boredom comes from many directions. Sometimes from depression, where the mind cannot find interest in anything. Other times it can come from a lack of stimulation - dull working conditions where a person cannot escape the monotony or repetitiveness of tasks. In this perhaps Thoreau, is correct. As Mary Poppins sang, make every task a game. It's what I do at work - although I do have a very interesting job!

Love your pictures ,especially one of the sun at the top of the mountain ,good timing for that shot

Lazy people are the quickest to get bored as it is to much work for them to be unlazy ,so they just stay in a board state and hope something will happen ,but they do not bother to think about it

I am never bored. Sometimes I just can't decide what I want to do, there are so many options to choose from.
