The
art
of
idleness
, an
empty
,
nihilistic
state of
being
in which any events or actions fail to have impact or
meaning
. This phrase was used repeatedly by
Samuel Beckett
to describe the
limbo
his characters often found themselves in his plays and was often exclaimed in
frustration
or
malaise
"Nothing Doing!"
If you find yourself saying "Nothing Doing." too often it's best to seek some
active
form of
work
such as helping the poor that will distract you from the utter
pointlessness
of
living
. Or just go on and
waste away
. "Nothing Doing." can be a
dead end
or a
doorway
, it depends on how you look at it.
