First, congratulations on turning on payments. Second, congratulations on this deep exploration.

You can learn a lot about someone by watching how restless they become in the absence of external stimulation. Some are simply too dependent on it to be anything without it.

Boredom demands that you spend time with yourself; it demands that you be effective company to yourself as it was before learning about these other things.

Whoever cannot handle boredom cannot handle himself/herself, and thus is at the mercy of what external stimulation feeds them. They are easily captured; they are readily ensnared and like an addict, they become what is fed to them.
