“Boredom as one of the most creative stylistic features of [modern] literature”

Susan Sontag

Concept of “shadow self” keeps coming up around me (Jungian sense). Eg, “What’s the part of yourself you’re afraid of?” Implicaiton that youe not complete to you integrate this

I’ve had trouble answering this question but I do think I *really* avoid / am unwilling to accept boredom.

This passage and some other things have me thinking about what I might be missing by not building up a healthy acceptance / tolerance of boredom in my life.

boredom leads to imagination, creativity and invention. 

One of the worst modern errors of all is that we have allowed ourselves, convinced ourselves to be scared of boredom. To not let it affect/infect our children. To hurry it away at all costs. To treat it like a plague. 

I love being bored. 

It makes me think

Which makes me create. 

Thanks for posting this. Controversial topic these days.
