if between the two you can live life , and can choose one, which do you think you can endure more.
i feel both are hard. it is easy to endure boring life though we may have gadgets and lots of things to do keep our boredom at bay, but still there will come a point where these gadgets or whatever we do will boring too.
and having a very busy life though may be enjoyable to some but if it stressful is not that good to. we can't enjoy life also if we have a very stressful life like if we have many responsibilities we can't escape from and that we need to face those responsibilities everyday.
in a boring you may have some responsibilities like at home where you won't be able to go out a lot and so you end up feeling so bored at home.
maybe i am talking out of my own experience. as i have experienced both kind of life. so if you get to choose one what kind of life you can endure more.

that is definitely true. that stress can kill you. that is why it is important that we should not over work or not be exposed to situation that give us too much stress. but at least if you get bored you won't die or get sick out of boredom. you just have to learn how to find something to do to take away your mind from boredom and as boredom can be just a state of mind. just a new perspective in life can change or drive boredom away.

Both are dreadful life. Given the choice I wouldn't want to live a boring and stressful existence. It will only drive me faster to my grave. In my saying this, I have in my 52 years of earthly existence gone through rough patches of life one which has driven me near insanity but on the flip side it has toughen me up to be what I am today. A boring life better than a stressful life.

yeah a boring life is much better than a stressful life. at least when we can think straight when we are in boring situation but if we are in a stressful situation we may not be able to make right decisions.

I've had both and boring is better, trust me. But stressful is what is going to give me my pension. So to endure stressful for a short time was necessary.

Just make sure you hope/wish/pray for an exciting life in a good way and to also be able to have some down time. Exciting in a bad way could mean you witness a murder and have someone out to kill you or something. Take care.

it is good to know that a boring ls much better than a stressful life. so i think those who have a boring life can take solace in the fact that their life is not the worst life a person can find himself into. but i do hope that i can still change my life to a more exciting one.

I hate being bored and stress can kill you so that's a tough one
.
I guess since I'm stressed out enough as it is and don't like it I rather have a boring live.

This is a hard one, but if I really have to choose I will choose a boring life. Since when you are bored you have a lot of time to burn and thus do things that won't be stressful yet enjoyable :)

yet when you are bored it just means that you have lots of time to do something else. only that hopefully we can think of some better things to do. only that many times also i don't know what is a good thing i must do during such boring times so leaving me enduring those boring days.

yeah both were bad. but this is only for discussion only and of course in real life we have a say in our situation and we can change things around and live the good life we want. but for my discussions which one can you live with a bit better. as for me i can live or deal with boring life as i have some form of entertaining myself like this site or browsing the net. but stressed it is hard to deal with stress specially if you really need to work hard.

yeah we should all have that kind of life at least. half boring and half stressful as we can manage that kind of life. that won't be the ideal kind of life but still is bearable though.

I would much rather have a boring life. I hate drama and stress. I don't get bored to easily though, so it would have to be really boring to affect me.

that is really great that you can deal with depression easily. i have problem with boredom too but i have stress. i can't live life with too much stress. it is just way too much for me to deal with stress. so i rather have a boring life. but doing meditation helps me a lot to get my mind off my boring life and gives me a good perspective in life. but it takes some discipline to do meditation but it is rewarding though.
