But the main trouble with human beings is their tendency to become trapped in the 'triviality of everydayness' {to borrow Heidegger's phrase}, in the suffocating world of their personal preoccupations. And every time they do this, they forget the immense world of broader significance that stretches around them. And since man needs a sense of meaning to release his hidden energies, this forgetfulness pushes him deeper into depression and boredom, the sense that nothing is worth the effort.
