Boredom or sloth in the middle age


 

 It reminds me of 'Sloth' in the Japanese Animation, "the Full Metal Alchemist'. The sloth is one of the Homunculuses. He keeps saying 'Mendose(Tiresome)', while destroying. And also the sloth is one of the 7 sins in the bible. Yep, I think I got in the sloth...

 No special desire or drive I...


: feel much. The desire for success, money, fame is not like before. The sexual drive still exist even though less frequent... Why? I asked myself. I reasoned out that it might be because I don't experience of threat to surviving.

Sloth





: Now if I have some money, I can live. There is no worry on the food. It can be said 'a peaceful era'. But is it a good time now?

 Unignorable social environment


 : It seems that the social conditions did a big role in my boredom. I think there are quite big number of people like me. Of course some are in the middle of surviving matter. I see many younger Koreans give up many things as long as the hunger issue is resolved. Because the wall to successful life in terms of economy is so high. They tried but encountered a very harsh reality. They gave up dating, marrying, and so on just because they don't afford. Hikikomori is a term for loner who doesn't leave his or her room... No kids means more free life... and also can be the reasons of boredom...




 : If I was born in the Chosun or Middle ages, I would never be bored. In that era, surviving is everything... Bees and ants, if you get rid of all the no-work one from the hive or a nest, similar percent becomes no-work ones again. No earning means giving up many things but also can enjoy many things. And I consolidate myself by saying that at least I am lucky guy because I am not the one who struggles for survive.
