Boredom isn t the root problem. An idolater, in Bible language, is one who puts things in the place of God in his life. Boredom comes from trying to fill spiritual hungers with material things fleeting, transient and perishable things. Contentment is not native to us. We are not born with this disposition.
Babies demand instant gratification.
St. Paul wasn t born with it either. He learned it. If you grow up at all, it s because you learned that the world does not exist for the sole purpose of making you happy. One learns that the Father knows who we are and where we are, what we really need and in what measure we need it. It s a lesson in faith.
