Boredom (n.) is a point along the temporal trajectory of that which is interesting. While many people think they are doing great honor to something by finding it interesting they have in fact already relegated the thing to the ranks of what is soon-boring.
Boredom (n.) is to be either bored with entities, with ourselves, or with being as a whole.
Boredom (n.) is not just an inner psychological state. It reveals something about the world itself.
Boredom (n.) is being bored by the world itself —a system of interrelated things whose emptiness holds us in limbo.
Boredom (n.) is best escaped through a sense of danger; having the courage to embrace such danger.
Boredom (n.) is structured in a threefold manner: (1) boredom with the world (past - being emerged); (2) boredom with ourselves (future - projects of oneself being emptied of significance (3) boredom with beings as a whole (present—since it is the entire unified structure of being-in-the-world that leaves us empty here).
Boredom (n.) is being held in limbo by the things around us, leaving us numb; like arriving at a station early, it bores us because we are unable to use it as a station.
Boredom (n.) is, literally, “a long while” (Langeweile). In its thrall, time is oppressively prolonged.
Boredom (n.) is either (1) being bored by something, (2) boring ourselves, (3) profound boredom. In each case, the time that we are ourselves is neither filled-up nor fulfilling.
