About This Quote

The curse of being “free to do nothing” is that it often invites a kind of inertia and meaninglessness. Many people can find themselves without any kind of occupation or focus, leading them to feel increasingly useless and unproductive. To belong nowhere is a blessing, but it can also be a curse. On the one hand, someone who is free from the constraints of traditional society is free to pursue his own goals, for instance. On the other hand, someone who has no set role or place in life can feel trapped and lonely.
