What makes people bored is entitlement, people needing to always be entertained because we have so much handed to us nowadays. Even as children- toys do the talking and moving, no need for imagination, no need to ever wait patiently again with an iPad handed to them every time they're "bored"... If people sat, more often, just sat, and controlled themselves they'd be better off.
I never get bored or say "I am bored" because I believe it to be a way of saying I am ungrateful and I satisfied with life unless I am being entertained.
