A real shift can happen when we reach a state of boredom or desperation
where clearly nothing and nobody else can entertain us anymore.
“You’re dead, Carl. You say ‘no’ to life and therefore, you’re not
living. You make up excuses to the people around you and to yourself. You’re
stuck in the same dead-end job you’ve had for years. You don’t have a
girlfriend. You don’t have anything close to a girlfriend. And you lost the
love of your life because she couldn’t be with someone who didn’t live his. And
on most nights you’re so bored and filled with ennui, you can’t even summon the
enthusiasm necessary to masturbate. Am I right, Carl?”
(From the movie ‘Yes Man’)
