"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man."
Bertrand Russell

I can't disagree with this. Especially considering where my thoughts have lead me, especially in this last year. I definitely fear my thoughts. They keep leading me back to myself.
And that seems to me, to be the greatest cause of our human aversion to boredom. When we have nothing else to think about, we have to think about ourselves. The horror!
