The closing up of self on nothing is a very old practice. In Japan there is a large proportion of young people closed up in their room with just the screen of the computer as a window on something else than the internal void. They even have a name. In Japan they have to be in school from 7am to 10pm, somebody was telling me just to day. So maybe it is the excess of pressure.
When I was young, many "sons of the flowers" went around with nothing in their pockets and crossed America like that. Somebody remembers the drop outs and the pictures on Milk cartons? Few times guys knocked at my door saying I am a friend of Bob, or Brian, or whatever, can I sleep here to night? and he had nothing with him. Not even a face to show. He did not wanted to eat, or to chat. Or nothing. Just a place to spend the night.
