I think people who complain about being bored are simply scared of being alone with their thoughts. I don't mind doing "nothing" on a train or bus ride, it gives me time to slow down a little and just think to myself.

I think this "gotta be busybusybusy" thing originated in the US, but it is definitely spreading.

I see way too many people who are way too wrapped up in their careers or are constantly stressing about all the things they "have to do", and they forget to actually enjoy anything, because they're already mentally at the next thing.

I love lazy Saturdays on the couch, and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
