That's what I'd call Sisyphusian depression (the idea that life itself is tedious and unfulfilling), not simple boredom.
I didn't say LIFE was tedious. I said moments when nothing better exists, BUT boredom exists. These do happen! These moments happen to children during the summer, as they run out of steam on things they wanted to do. They happen to me way too often, as I often find myself bored, but with little idea of how to improve it.
I think a purely comparative model of boredom doesn't work.
