It's remarkable to compare this to buddha's early teachings, modern psychology, economics, cancel culture, and the woes of social media. Such a huge subject that nobody can seem to see or understand in whole.
The deep boredom that wasn't. We must throw people to the lions in a colosseum. People are suffering because they desire to solve this deep boredom. They will constantly escalate the risk or thrill to satisfy this desire but the cure to the boredom is impermanent. Pleasure must be fleeting and therefore the cure for the deep boredom is to not desire.
This isn't to say you cannot live life. You must give up control, give up greed, hatred, and ignorance.
