I was recently rereading Thoreau’s ‘Walden’, and i was struck by a passage that is hard to completely understand unless you’ve worked a job, a real adult job i mean, in which you were left with something missing, that is to say a void of some kind, So below is a quote from the first chapter of Walden that I believe summarizes this feeling:

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost.  That is where they should be.  Now put foundations under them.
-Henry David Thoreau
