I am the most unspirited spirit known to man;  Yet, I can be the most destructive or cause the most creation, depending on how I am put to use or perceived.  

I  cause many to sin . . . just because. . .

I cause depression in so many; I can even evoke anger in some.

If I go unchecked; I will cause my host to imagine that which is not real, and put my hosts into a state of imagery that has known to drive some men insane.

If I am allowed to continue to infest my host, I can produce a state of mind in which fantasy and realism blend together and are hard to distinguish apart.

Most of my hosts are totally unaware of how vicious I really am.

I am the beginning cause of many divorces and broken hearts. 

No human is immune to my wrath; I have affected the young and old; the rich and the poor; the atheist, the believer.

I sneak into the minds of men and infect their souls before they realize it.

I am the culprit of self-inflicted addictions such as pornography, alcolism, overspending, gambling, and drug addiction.

My hosts can always eradicate me if they so choose. It only takes a little effort on their part. But, I am so discreet that most humans often see me as the effect and not the root cause.

The eradication of me has changed failures into scholars; defeat to success; sadness to joy; hate to love.

Although many see me as an evil spirit, the choices one makes from my existence can be positive or negative; it’s all up to my host.  Without me, women would not be curious, and man would not be explorative.  I have existed from the begining of time.  I am an attribute to the original sin of Adam and Eve. 

Who am I . . .  (click below for answer)

I am simply the spirit of boredom.  

On bordeom, I heard them say . . . .

An idle mind is the devil’s workshop -
~unknown origin

Life is never boring but some people choose to be bored. The concept of boredom entails an inability to use up present moments in a personally fulfilling way. Boredom is a choice; something you visit upon yourself, and it is another of those self-defeating items that you can eliminate from your life.
~WAYNE W. DYER, Your Erroneous Zones

Boredom is … a vital problem for the moralist, since at least half the sins of mankind are caused by the fear of it.
~BERTRAND RUSSELL, The Conquest of Happiness

Boredom is what you fight. Constant, ever-present boredom. So you learn to look forward to small things. Sunlight glimpsed through a cloud, an extra piece of pie or candy, good thread to sew your blouse, a ribbon to wear in your hair.
~VALERIE W. WESLEY, Playing My Mother’s Blues

Boredom is the deadliest poison.
~WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY, JR., Milestones

Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is. ~Thomas Szasz

Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair.
~C.C. Colton

Boredom is like a pitiless zooming in on the epidermis of time. Every instant is dilated and magnified like the pores of the face. ~Charlotte Whitton

When I get real bored, I like to drive downtown and get a great parking spot, then sit in my car and count how many people ask me if I’m leaving. ~-Steven Wright

A bore is a man who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company.
Gian Vincenzo Gravina (1664 – 1718)

Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.
~Arthur Schopenhauer

Boredom is not an end product, is comparatively rather an early stage in life and art. You’ve got to go by or past or through boredom, as through a filter, before the clear product emerges.
~F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Crack-Up

Man is the only animal that can be bored.
~Erich Fromm, The Sane Society (1955)

Perhaps the world’s second worst crime is boredom. The first is being a bore.
~Sir Cecil Walter Hardy Beaton

Boredom is the root of all evil-the despairing refusal to be oneself.
~Søren Kierkegaard 

 The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. ~Dorothy Parker 

The Turks have a proverb, which says, that “The devil tempts all other men, but that idle men tempt the devil.
~Colton, Lacon, 1820
