"One of the worst forms of mental suffering……" — Erich Fromm

"One of the worst forms of mental suffering is boredom, not knowing what to do with oneself and one's life. Even if man had no monetary, or any other reward, he would be eager to spend his energy in some meaningful way because he could not stand the boredom which inactivity produces."

— Erich Fromm
