too much Nada is not good for you
Nada (nothingness) is a central theme in his (Ernest Hemingway) work, particularly in the short story A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, where it represents existential despair and the void.

He died in the foyer of his home, shortly after being released from the Mayo Clinic, where he had sought treatment for his deteriorating mental state.
