HW # 30-Psychological and Philosophical Theorizing of Cool- (planing to revise)

This could be one of the hardest assisgnment that Andy has gave to us. How can cool be viewed as a major attempt to fill the emptiness inside of us with an internal heroic mission? I am not even going to lie, I am having a lot of trouble finding sources of how cool can connect to emptiness or I am having difficulties understanding this assignment, but I am going to try.

How does "emptiness" feel? As some of us probably dont know what emptiness means; as a human condition is a sense of generalized boredon, social alientation and apathy. Feeling emptiness relies on being lonliness, depression. I am not going to even look for sources, I am probably coming out with my own theory/examples on emptiness.

How can being emptiness affect your state of habit/mind? All I know that everyone has experiences the feeling of emptiness. Emptiness can leads to serious behavior and taking risks. Emptiness is a feeling of being heartbroken or depression. We just dont know what the world is revolving around us. Full of love, hate, peace, violence, drugs and complicate shit. What does it takes to get this feeling out of us? When can this end and be happy again? When can the world be perfect upon us? Why do we have to go through this nightmare just to feel "full" instead of emptiness?

"The perks of being a wallflower," by Stephen Chbosky, a book about a highschool student who always feel empty and wanted someone to listen and gives him attention. "I just need someone out there listens and understands and doesnt try to sleep with people even if they could have. I need to know that these people exist." He felt lonliness and boredom when no one even realized he exist. He took drugs and a act of violence.

So how does being cool connects to feeling emptiness? Who knows? Being cool is just a way to get away from depression. Who wants to be all empty all the time, so of course, we need to feel the right way. Which is being cool. Something that makes us stand again. Something that makes us run and become strong again.
