Simplified Meaning:
When we do the same thing over and over without any change, it can lead to boredom, which can cause us to feel unhappy and start making bad choices. Imagine someone who works the same job every day without taking breaks or trying new things; they might start feeling restless and seek excitement in risky or harmful behaviors like gambling or drinking too much. In ancient times, people who faced dullness might have become more likely to break rules or harm others out of frustration. To avoid falling into this trap, try to keep your routine lively by learning new skills, meeting different people, or exploring new places. This can keep your mind active and prevent the negative effects of boredom.
