Overcoming Ennui

“I am in a job I don’t like.

This could be because of a person you are living with, or with the travel full of traffic jams that you have to pass by to work, or with the tasteless food self cooked in a bachelor life or etc.

But the reason causing the mental weariness is because of lack of interest. So where is exactly the point that satiety popping in? The lack of basic desire is the root cause of all these boredom.
