Summary

This quote suggests that society can be divided into two groups: the Bores, who annoy and bore others with repetitive and uninteresting actions or conversations, and the Bored, who are tired of these mundane experiences and seek more excitement.

It serves as a critique of the lack of authentic and stimulating interactions in today's society.
