There are times when I feel this emptiness within me; bereft of feelings, emotions, ambition. The kind of feeling you occasionally get when you wake up and the weight of reality hasn't quite settled in yet. When you don't quite feel like doing anything.

It's scary how well the internet complements this feeling, and even helps in prolonging it. Where I would have once just sat down staring into space for a while before shaking myself out of it, or grabbing a nearby book to absorb myself in; I can now spend hours on end staring at the screen doing absolutely nothing (of substance at least) while caught up in the illusion of doing something.

Entertainment should complement the voracity of life; with timely interjections, instead of dominating it, and deadening the mind by crowding it out to nothingness.
