Someone who is bored lives exclusively in the present; he is totally immersed in the interval of duration. For him, the future is too far away to be interesting or to offer any possibility of hope. Thus ennnui is neither directed toward the past, as in nostalgia, nor to the future, as in adventure, but to an exclusive present.
