We all have experienced boredom in everyday life, so we know boredom. But we don't know what boredom is or what happens in the state which we call boredom. This article will examine this question. If boredom is unique to man, we could guess that boredom results from ways of acting that are also unique to man and different from those of any other animal. In this article it is assumed that we act in the manner of a self-fulfilling prophecy. We cannot affirm that such an assumption is the absolute truth, but in studying boredom we can find some significant things that we could not find without this assumption. In other words, boredom is generally regarded as bad or ill, but in terms of a self-fulfilling prophecy it is very useful. We can see how boredom serves as a powerful countermeasure to some tremendous danger.
