Sebuah cerita ringan tentang kebosanan. Seorang tua yang bijak ditanya oleh tamunya.
Tamu: “Sebenarnya apa itu perasaan ‘bosan’, pak tua?”
Pak Tua: “Bosan adalah keadaan dimana pikiran menginginkan perubahan,
mendambakan sesuatu yang baru, dan menginginkan berhentinya rutinitas
hidup dan keadaan yang monoton dari waktu ke waktu. Karena kita tidak
pernah merasa puas dengan apa yang kita miliki.”
Tamu: “Bagaimana menghilangkan kebosanan?”
Pak Tua: “Hanya ada satu cara, nikmatilah kebosanan itu, maka kita pun akan terbebas darinya.”
Tamu: “Bagaimana mungkin bisa menikmati kebosanan?”
Pak Tua: “Bertanyalah pada dirimu sendiri: mengapa kamu tidak pernah bosan makan nasi yang sama rasanya setiap hari?”
Tamu: “Karena kita makan nasi dengan lauk dan sayur yang berbeda”
Pak Tua: “Benar sekali, anakku, tambahkan sesuatu yang baru dalam rutinitasmu maka kebosanan pun akan hilang.”
Tamu: “Bagaimana menambahkan hal baru dalam rutinitas?”
Pak Tua: “Ubahlah caramu melakukan rutinitas itu. Kalau biasanya
menulis sambil duduk, cobalah menulis sambil jongkok atau berbaring.
Kalau biasanyan membaca di kursi, cobalah membaca sambil berjalan-jalan
atau meloncat-loncat. Kalau biasanya menelpon dengan tangan kanan,
cobalah dengan tangan kiri atau dengan kaki kalau bisa. Dan seterusnya.”
Lalu Tamu itu pun pergi. Beberapa hari kemudian Tamu itu mengunjungi Pak Tua lagi.
Tamu: “Pak tua, saya sudah melakukan apa yang Anda sarankan, kenapa saya masih merasa bosan juga?”
Pak Tua: “Coba lakukan sesuatu yang bersifat kekanak-kanakan.”
Tamu: “Contohnya?”
Pak Tua: “Mainkan permainan yang paling kamu senangi di waktu kecil dulu.”
Lalu Tamu itu pun pergi. Beberapa minggu kemudian, Tamu itu datang lagi ke rumah Pak Tua.
Tamu: “Pak tua, saya melakukan apa yang Anda sarankan. Di setiap
waktu senggang saya bermain sepuas-puasnya semua permainan anak-anak
yang saya senangi dulu. Dan keajaiban pun terjadi. Sampai sekarang saya
tidak pernah merasa bosan lagi, meskipun di saat saya melakukan hal-hal
yang dulu pernah saya anggap membosankan. Kenapa bisa demikian, Pak
Tua?”

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
Said woman take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said sugar make it slow
And we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(inhale) Patience...
Ooh, oh, yeah
Sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Sometimes, I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Said woman take it slow
Things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said sugar take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, Oh never break it
'Cause I can't take it
...little patience, mm yeah, ooh yeah,
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more pati... (ence, yeah)
I've been walking these streets at night
Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeah)
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in a crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)
And the streets don't change but maybe the name
I ain't got time for the game
'Cause I need you (Patience, yeah)
Yeah, yeah well I need you
Oh, I need you (Take some patience)
Whoa, I need you (Just a little patience is all we need)
Ooh, this ti- me....

Sambil tersenyum Pak Tua berkata: “Karena segala sesuatu sebenarnya
berasal dari pikiranmu sendiri, anakku. Kebosanan itu pun berasal dari
pikiranmu yang berpikir tentang kebosanan. Saya menyuruhmu bermain
seperti anak kecil agar pikiranmu menjadi ceria. Sekarang kamu tidak
merasa bosan lagi karena pikiranmu tentang keceriaan berhasil
mengalahkan pikiranmu tentang kebosanan. Segala sesuatu berasal pikiran.
Berpikir bosan menyebabkan kau bosan. “Berpikir ceria menjadikan kamu
ceria.
