[MD] Crystallising Chaos.

[Jos Laycock]

Hi Marsha, Hi SA

It's fair to say that I detest being bored, sometimes it's even painful.
I'm prone to impulsive behaviours when intensely bored, and you are 
absoultely right that it's dangerous.

Then again, dangerous to whom? And where does the danger come from?
When I look back, the only dangers have come from the reaction of others to 
my supposedly rash decisions, ie society has reacted badly to my resistance 
of it's boring ways.
We are "unsettled" because we are in a "place" that constrains us, we 
anticipate the consequences of acting outside of "normal" and understand the 
danger to us from society that will present it'self if we do.

If you already know the answer to a question why bother to ask it?
If you already know how doing a particular activity will make you feel then 
why bother to undertake it?

Everything we do is static patterns, but perhaps the boring ones are those 
that have spent the longest time in absence of DQ? I see DQ as a wind that 
blows through all things, refreshing them and giving them live and colour, a 
static pattern untouched begins to fade, and we cease to value it.

Boredom is the feeling you get when a behavioural pattern that you have 
developed forces you to interract with the faded, old, unfashionable, 
districts of existence.
