The malady of boredom

Boredom or ennui is a subjective feeling that embodies a number of symptoms similar to those implied by the term "depression," and varies in degree of depth from what might be described as normal to several levels or pathology. When met with as a "normal" phenomenon, it is usually of transient duration and of little consequence, although Schopenhauer takes another view of the matter.
