I think the vast majority of people wander thoughtlessly through life, trying to feed some emptiness without actually acknowledging its existence. I think the key to escaping this is first admitting how bored/tired/angry/sheeplike you really are and doing something about it. I try whenever possible not to watch television, not to buy things I don't need, not to conform for the sake of comfort. Of course I fail all the time but at least I'm trying.
