Everyday I must proove to myself that I exist and am someone by doing something which demonstrates to me this. There can be no nothing days, no days with out some kind of progress. This goes beyond philosophy and into the realm of life and death. Unless you want a death wish. A string of just a few nothing days is asking for just that. Something to really fear can be a great motivater. Life is also an adjective and means some adventure and seeking gain and higher things. This is the hard nurturing people do if they want to thrive and be happy.
