".....Don’t replace boredom with work or fun or habits. 

Don’t pull out a screen at every idle moment. 

Boredom is the last privilege of a free mind. 

The currency with which you barter 

with folks who will sell you their 

“habit,” “fun” or “work” 

is your clear right to practice 

judgment, 

discernment 

and taste. 

In other words, 

always trust when boredom speaks to you. 

Instead of avoiding it, heed its messages, 

because they’ll keep you true to yourself....."
