This is no different than using alcohol, drugs, etc. AKA Workaholic. Just another way to distract oneself from the existential dread.

- chasd00 6y agowhat's so great about existential dread? If you don't have it then you don't have it. I read a book on Zen Buddhism once about 20 years ago and it made sense to me. I've never read or practiced anything related since which makes me a constant practitioner in a way. Maybe i'm blessed or cursed but, to me, the endless pursuit of meditation/mindfulness is the same as the endless pursuit of anything else.

Would you advise them to ignore their problems and instead distract themselves with something else? > Maybe i'm blessed or cursed but, to me, the endless pursuit of meditation/mindfulness is the same as the endless pursuit of anything else. So, in a word, nihilism.
