Understanding EMPTINESS
One of the biggest reasons a lot of the things in our society move or get attention is emptiness within humans.
That emptiness has You reaching for that phone when You’re drunk and alone, and calling Your ex.
It is the same emptiness that requires You to grab those pills or the bottle. In order to suffocate the vast hole that is inside You. If only just for a moment.
Or food. One of the cruelest one of them…
Or TV shows, or parties, or computer games.
But this is not all.
The very same emptiness fuels Your desires for success and achievement.
Filling that void that is screaming for attention.
Now, to be clear, success and achievement are not bad things. These can be really good, and a force for good and humanity in general.
The problem lies within that in-between place of emptiness, achievement, and fullness. And somewhere in the middle of those things is meaning and purpose as well.
How to understand what is what and how to see things more clearly?
The only practice here is presence.
Presence with Yourself, Your emotions, Your feelings, and very importantly, Your thoughts.
