"Where there is no boredom there can be no reflection". Going to disagree with this. I burn my hand on a hot stove, I reflect upon that and I'm sure not bored.

I find that a lot of the reflection in my life comes from similar things. Engagement with a good book, coming across a problem I've never seen before, interacting with new people in new social situations. Things I engage with that also throw me back to myself... All things that make me reflect that aren't boredom.

I'm not disagreeing there is value in boredom. I feel like a lot of my creativity comes from having been bored while young (as well as it being actively encouraged by teachers). Just disagreeing that boredom is the only reason anyone reflects deeply.
