Do boring people exist or is it our fault if we don't find them interesting?
Did God create them boring so that we may appreciate the more interesting people in life?
Or did He create them to teach us a lesson? (Which lesson?)

Is anyone truely boring if you get to know them? Nope, each individual can be very interesting if you take the time to get to know them. Find out about they're life, and what motivates them.
I'll grand you, there are some more interesting than others. But it's our flesh that makes us a "respecter of persons".

I don't know. I would say that there are people who are generally considered by most to be boring. Not everyone is good at telling a story or a joke. Not everyone revels in the things that a majority of us consider to be "exciting." These people tend to be viewed as boring, even once you get to know them. And that doesn't mean that you don't like them. I have an uncle who I consider to be a pretty boring guy, but he's still a good guy and I like fishing with him.
People like my uncle just fit into God's plan in a different manner. They do (and often enjoy doing) the stuff that many of us consider mundane. But someone's gotta do it, and God has chosen them. It doesn't make them any less important, that they're not good people, or that they aren't worth being friends with. Like the old saying goes, it takes all kinds of people to make the world work.

I have a friend who always says the same things over an over. And that's pretty boring.

Thanx for your replies.
You've all been rather polite and somewhat charitable. Christ-like I suppose.
But surely you know the type of individual I'm speaking of? The one with the droning monotonous voice who, as soon as he starts speaking, your eyelids struggle to stay open. The type of person who would be an instant cure to insomnia.
Or the person who repeats a certain phrase over and again every few words, you know what I mean, he starts talking about something and then repeats it, you know what I mean ... what I mean ... what I ...
Or the guy who tells a story with every minutest details. It was a Saturday afternoon I remember ... it was rather cold ... you know, that kind of crisp cold dry wind that cuts right through you ... you get it often in October .... And whilst he's talking your heart is screaming "GET ON WITH IT !!!!"
Surely you must have met these people? Or are they all in Britain?
Why oh why does God send them all my way? Is He teaching me humility, patience, kindness ... or is He just laughing at me?

I like to think this is the truth, although I certainly know that for the most part, I'm probably one of them, haha. So, there's at least one in Orlando!
