We are driven by this notion that if we are not busy, we are not constructing something, we're not doing something, if we're not creating value, we will have no value. This is the prime anxiety of the ego. The ego knows it is empty and fears that emptiness as if its a kind of bad smell, as if its shat its pants in some way and so it has to cover it up and cover it up by showing I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm useful, I'm useful, but it's actually empty and this emptiness is not shameful, it's the emptiness of all phenomena.
