Summary

The quote suggests that when individuals feel a sense of emptiness or purposelessness in their lives, they experience what is referred to as an existential vacuum. This state of emptiness often manifests itself as a feeling of boredom. When people lack a sense of meaning or fulfillment, they may find themselves disinterested, unengaged, and restless. Boredom can be seen as a symptom of this deeper existential vacuum, as individuals struggle to find purpose and meaning in their existence.

If you want to really hurt you parents, and you don't have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.
