absolute ennui

Oh yes, and you can spend hours looking at cute photos of kids and animals... complet, totál, absolu... ennui!

Yet these kinds of photos speak to a universal love... trusted friends, safe slumber... peace. It is this common ground where we humans will find our transformation to higher ground.

DEFINITION of this [French] noun, pronounced "ahn-wee":

a feeling of utter weariness and discontent resulting from satiety or lack of interest; boredom:
The endless lecture produced an unbearable ennui.
