"Perhaps the world's second worst crime is boredom. The first is being a bore"

- Jean Baudrillard

About this Quote

Jean Baudrillard's quote recommends that being a bore is the worst criminal activity one can dedicate, while dullness is the second worst. This suggests that being a birthed is an extra significant infraction than being tired. Boredom is a feeling of laziness and apathy, while being a birthed is actively irritating and annoying to others. Dullness is an easy state, while being a birthed is an energetic one. Boredom can be relieved by participating in activities that are interesting as well as stimulating, while being a bore is a personality trait that is challenging to alter. Monotony can be a short-term state, while being a bore is an extra permanent one. Baudrillard's quote suggests that it is much better to be tired than to be a bore, as the latter is an extra severe violation.
