I know a number of people who truly fear open, unstructured time. They externalize their phobia of stillness and introversion by complaining about boredom - implying that their minds can't stop being useful AND that the world depends on it! *** They take short, action-packed vacations and always take smart phones along, so any moments of down time can be filled, like a hole. Like a hole in a dyke.
But what might pour in through that hole? The dyke separates our dry, structured, "controlled" life from the ocean of reality. What if we get wet - soaked? Can we swim? Can we enjoy swimming?*** Someone once said that whenever he starts to feel irreplaceable and important, he remembers that JFK was replaced within 20 minutes of his assassination.
