Nihilism versus Creative Emptiness

I wonder whether there is a difference between nihilism and an emptiness

we sometimes feel which is, in fact, full of creative energy? Whereas nihilism

is a desperate negation of the world and its ways, however corrupt and unjust

they may be, the creative emptiness we feel before starting to write or before

any creative act, is full of potential, The void that we feel is actually a space

in which many ideas fructify, a space where images are formed like star-dust

that forms stars in outer space. If nihilism is the negation of insight, creativity,

potential, and hope for a better world and, in extreme cases, might even lead

to suicide, feeling the void and a full fruitful silence opens the way to creativity,

I think.
