Boredom: Man's enemy

*Warning* Post contains some politics crap, turn away now if you don't want to read. You've been warned.

Since when has anyone never felt bored? If someone tells you he has never been bored once in his life, smack him hard on the back of his head and call him a liar. If you are a human being, you will definitely feel bored when nothing is happening. Because of this, man felt the need to do something. Sometimes, the stuffs they did can be good things, but the rest of the time, it's neither good nor recreational. It's just dumb, and these dumb things sometime causes deaths of people. Which is why boredom has always been an enemy of man.

Ever since the prehistoric age, boredom exists. Back when our ancestors were all wearing leaves or nothing at all, men fight with each other (Human beings or gorillas, we don't know. I personally think that we were all dinosaurs then) . Theory by scientists says that this is just a way of showing who is the dominant male, to win the heart of the female like many typical 'Triangular Relationship', but no, that is incorrect. It is because of boredom. Male fight with each other because they are bored hunting. They needed to do something to release their barbaric nature through means other than hunting. They decided to fight with each other until one falls, exhausted or dead. This in turn made him look good, and

Karl Marx wrote the ideology of Communism, which turned the Hierarchy Kingdom of Russia into a Communist state, known in short, USSR. Quoting Wikipedia, "Communism is a socioeconomic structure that promotes the establishment of a classless, stateless society based on common ownership of the means of production. It is usually considered a branch of the broader socialist movement that draws on the various political and intellectual movements that trace their origins back to the work of theorists of the Industrial Revolution and the French Revolution. Communism attempts to offer an alternative to the problems believed to be inherent with capitalist economies and the legacy of imperialism and nationalism. Communism states that the only way to solve these problems would be for the working class, or proletariat, to replace the wealthy bourgeoisie, which is currently the ruling class, in order to establish a peaceful, free society, without classes, or government." That is the idea of Communism. But did Karl Marx really wrote that because he want to free the workers from exploitations? No, he didn't wrote that because he wanted the workers to be freed from exploitations. He wrote it because he was bored. Bored of the Tsar's ruling, bored of the sights of poor workers, and because of this boredom, Communism was born. Little did he know that the result of his boredom caused bloodsheds over many years until it was finally destroyed.

National Socialist German Worker's Party, or Nazi. Love and hated by Germans, it was made famous by Adolf Hitler. Loved because it is the only way to save Germany and making it strong again, hated because of the ill treatment given to any opposition of the party. Created to remove the Weimar Government, . But why? Is it because he really wanted to save Germany from discrimination? Is it because he wanted power? No, not at all. The reason is again, boredom. Hitler, after passing each day in boredom, decided he should do something. He gathered a bunch of friends to think of something fun to do, and thus, Nazism was born. The result of Hitler boredom caused WWII, the creation of Atomic weapons, and his own death. Once more, boredom has proved to be devastating.

There are also many other cases of tragedies caused by boredom. Why did European countries took South East Asian along with other countries and in turn made them their colonies? Was it because they needed the resources? Was it because they needed to build up their country? No, it was because of boredom. They decided to take over weaker countries because they were bored, bored by the fact that their egos are collecting dust after WWII. Hence, they decided it would be fun to compete with each other to see who is the strongest European country then. What happened? Vietnam War.

Why did Bush invaded Iraq? Was it for liberation? Was it for the oil? Neither, it's just because he's bored, and felt the need to unleash the army on some 'poor' country in the Middle East. He chose Iraq. Well, he conquered Iraq, boosted his Ego, but what did he get in return? The people of United States hated him because of the War. Many people wished to kill him personally to avenge those that had died in Iraq because of Bush's boredom.

Why did the people of Tibet refused to participate in the Olympics, and barred the torch relay to take place in their land? Was it because they are angry with China's rejection of Tibet's Independence proposal? No, it is because they were bored. Due to Taiwan's election recently and the upcoming Olympics that is to be held in Beijing, the world turned their attention towards Taiwan and China, ignoring Tibet. Tibetans became bored, and decided to thwart the torch relay by creating a riot. The world has certainly turn their attention towards Tibet now, but at what cost? Will the organizers of Olympics think about organizing the Olympics in an Asian country ever again? Don't think so, and all because of boredom.

To summarize it all: BOREDOM KILLS. Now get out and do something recreational, and don't get yourself killed.
