... As expected, boredom has returned to Discedo. Such a shame.

[Yes, the Yukarin is bored. So bored, that's she's going to break out the philosophy.]

Then again, one shouldn't refer to boredom so negatively. After all, boredom itself is neutral, neither positive nor negative.

In fact, boredom exists because life itself is innately neutral. The

Though in life boredom is easily conquered with the correct mindset.

However boredom is just the absence of something seen as "interesting."

I would not think you'd be awake long enough to even be bored.

[sukimahag]

Following that logic, the perfect mindset is one that finds everything "interesting".

That would mean losing the chance to experience "boredom".

[helianthoideae]

You can find something interesting anywhere you look...if you're willing to put the effort into it or change your mindset.

Though I suppose it would take something like this to make a Youkai of Borders experience boredom.

[sukimahag]

For something this minor, it's better to change what one perceives, rather than how they perceive it.

Even if that boredom is both transient, and low-grade.

[Oh how he covets the way she thinks.]

Oft voicing one's boredom is only the death rattle before true ennui.

You're not far gone yet.

[For him, ennui is the Second Death.]

[... This may actually be interesting.]

I find that comparison to be far too negative.

After all, it is inevitable my boredom will pass, simply by skirting so close to that ennui.

Inevitable may be, for you. [From her words alone, he sees promise.]

Yet those who give in to ennui find a listlessness they can never escape.

That I can discern is the goal of our captors.

[sukimahag]

Of course, those who lose to ennui cannot escape it, for they have no right to.

Oh? A truly boring goal, to induce true boredom? How terribly disappointing that would be.

[nomnomguts]

Isn't that quite a lot of assumptions to be making?

[sukimahag]

No more than the norm.

[nomnomguts]

"Life is neutral..." "Existence cannot be enjoyed..."

Really quite a bold thing to say!

[sukimahag]

In that case, why not try to overturn what I've said?

[voice]

[whiteduplicity]

Isn't being bored the opposite of being entertained though?

[voice]

[sukimahag]

It is only natural something becomes its opposite, with sufficient effort.

[voice]

[whiteduplicity]

So it's positive!

[voice]

[sukimahag]

On the contrary, having naught but one's boredom to be entertained by, is certainly negative.
