Davidhttp://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201212/201212051137375087801.mp3We can see this difference between a temporary feeling and a permanent quality if we look at the words you asked about boring and bored.
Here are two examples.
I don't like David. I think he is boring.
Oh, I'm bored. Let's go out and do something fun.
In the first example, I don't like David because he is boring, and this is a permanent characteristic or quality of his. In my opinion, he was boring yesterday, he is boring today, and he will be boring tomorrow. However, in the second example, I have a temporary feeling. I am bored, and if we do something fun I will not have that feeling anymore.
So, I hope my answer has been useful and interesting, and that you are no longer confused by this grammar point. As a teacher, I never get bored talking about grammar, although I sometimes think that my students find it a little boring. What about you? Are you fascinated by grammar?
