Sometimes the world seems like a big hole. You spend all your life shouting down it and all you hear are echoes of some idiot yelling nonsense down a hole.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that the world can feel like a vast, empty space where no one is listening. It's like yelling into a deep hole, and all you hear back are the meaningless echoes of someone else's foolish words. The message is that it can be frustrating and lonely to try to be heard or understood in a world that sometimes feels indifferent or disconnected.
