Boredom is the perfect example of subtle duḥkha. Even when all our needs are met, still we crave for something more, and due to this craving we suffer in boredom. We seem to think that life is soluble, and that if only X then we'd be satisfied. But life is insoluble - life is duḥkha. Boredom is one head of this hydra. The only true solution is the complete abandonment of craving. In the meantime, I guess we should fill that boredom with a practice that leads to the abandonment of craving.
