On the other hand, being busy implies being actively involved in the events of our lives. This means that we are active creators of these events. Therefore we find ourselves engrossed in a context (social, personal, political,...etc), and given a back story, and a goal ahead. Everything we do becomes part of the bigger story which is unfolding towards its conclusion. It might be a bad story, or a tragic one, and we're mostly dissatisfied with it, but at least it gives a coherent structure in which the happenings of our everyday life occur and become sentences and pages of the story of our life.

Free-time, on the other hand, means we are "freed" from the context of our lives, and now floating in the formless world of meaninglessness and incoherence. It is not a bad story, it's the lack of the story whatsoever. There is no back story or structure inside which the events of our lives happen, there is nothing to be expected. It's a blank page.

On the pathology of meaninglessness The times we feel least nihilistic are when we are busy and actively involved with our daily lives. While the times we feel the most nihilistic are, ironically, when we have an excess of free time. This is because, to have…
Some comments by Murtadha:
Some people may find comfort and meaning in a structured life with clear expectations and routines, while others may feel stifled and prefer a more open-ended approach. The absence of structure in free-time does not necessarily mean (or lead to) that life is meaningless or lacking in purpose.

Instead, free-time can be an opportunity to reflect, recharge, and explore new interests and activities. A blank page can also be seen as an opportunity to create and shape one's own story, rather than simply being a void of meaning.

When we are occupied with responsibilities and activities, we are able to immerse ourselves in a context and contribute to the unfolding story of our lives. This can give us a sense of control and agency, as we actively shape the events and experiences that make up our story.
A Sigh.
I caught this insight on the wing, and rapidly took the readiest, poor words to hold it fast, so that it might not again fly away. But it has died in these barren words, and hangs and flaps about in them—and now I hardly know, when I look upon it, how I could have had such happiness when I caught this bird.

"Another phone that'll never ring" - Neon Genesis: Evangelion
Voices when heard over a telephone/radio have a lovely aura
There's an emptiness at the very core of our souls. A fundamental incompleteness that has haunted all beings since the very first thought. On a primal level, man has always been aware of the darkness that resides at the core of his mind. We have seeked to escape from this void and the fear it causes. And all man's accomplishments were made in the hope of filling it.
