  "summary": "An open interval differs from absent life and from time still carrying a real obligation. The article separates a wanted activity, a wish for company and hurried filling of an hour. Pascal, Seneca and Ecclesiastes raise different questions without establishing one psychological method. A small voluntary pause permits another activity and an outcome without any discovery.",
