Summary

This quote suggests that boredom is not merely a state of being idle or unengaged, but rather a sensation of one's abilities and capacities deteriorating. It implies that when we are bored, we are not utilizing and stimulating our minds and talents, resulting in a gradual decline or "death" of our mental faculties. Therefore, boredom is not simply a lack of interest or stimulation, but a detrimental state that hampers our intellectual and creative potential.
