There is absolutely nothing wrong with being boring and coasting through life, the problem arises though when boring people get insecure and try to overcompensate for the fact that they are fundamentally boring and will probably always be.

peace 7 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) It is indeed true that most everyone has an amazing backstory of a life, and each of them are living a life of adventure and crazy trippy fucking nutz shit. I've experienced a lot of greatness from some of the most "normal" people ever-- as these people are "the norm", they have crazy views on the world that I would never feel myself, like, "Money is everything", etc. So interacting with everyday type people is quite mindblowing, and I try to learn as much as I can from them, even if they will never create anything awe inspiring or even say something interesting. Because I feel like there is hidden wisdom in the words of some boring fucks. They've obviously lived a life different from me, so I can learn from that. Despite all this, the problem of the general populace being boring is fucking true, and this is because modern society is based on creating worker slaves; not creating creative minds. I've found it true in my life anyway, that the most interesting people tend to have deep hobbies, or they have at one time or another been very, very proficient at something that is difficult. The most boring people tend to be those who have never been great at something and who don't have hobbies, other than maybe television. I think this has to do with the fact that for any skill to become great, a lot of hard work and TROUBLESHOOTING has to go into this hobby FOR YEARS ON END. And when one troubleshoots and thinks outside the box for years, it seems like other parts of the brain latch onto that, and these people have original or well thought out opinions on life and just things in general. Or maybe it's just as simple as... they had to think for a long time. Yeeeah, but of course-- bottom line is that most people are interesting, even if they're boring. Most people might not be able to make you laugh or paradigm shift blow your mind like LSD on LSD on shrooms, but somewhere in their life there's some experience, that if you heard it, you'd nod cuz you learnt something or you'd go, "Holy shit." Are most people "boring"? Yes. Are most people "Boring"?

Entorwellian Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 People as a whole are incredibly boring because they hide all of the dysfunctional and personality stuff from view whenin the presence of others.

Leon Sumbitches Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Sometimes really boring conversations are great and soothing though, like a warm bath. I've had the same conversations a thousand times with, say, family members, but there's something nice about that. I'm not always in the mood for a super-deep talk about art or philosophy or whatever. Those conversations are great when they happen, especially with the right people, but it's important to find the beauty, or at least the simple pleasure, in people's everyday interests, boring though they often are.
