i often feel empty also.
but i don't find it to be disturbing. I enjoy the feeling. I Walk in the woods and enjoy the sunshine with all my heart. I sit in the bus home and see how the rain is necessary to nourish the earth and i delight in it.
The emptiness is a feeling left by the ego, some basic egotistical need for a purpose, that all humans have. A need to be something and to do things, something to look forward to. A fear of being bored.
It is the almost the opposite of the spirit of bym's post, which shows a remarkable quality that few have. The ability of not caring for and letting go of troubles. The ability to smile and be at joy at the midst of a traffic jam, and even use the opportunity to make a few new friends.
Its just the art of letting go, the art of stopping to care, even about this emptiness. To stop analyzing oneself and just existing. To embrace the emptiness until it fills up with warmth and love. Letting go of all doubts and fears. Just going where the road takes you. The way of being open and receptive to your surroundings. But still guided in the back my mental, logical needs, doubts, etc...
there must be a clear difference between plain logical doubts or skepticism and emotional doubts and worries. Emotional doubt is not needed for a happy life, logical doubts are.
Hey, call it fluffed if you want. I'd rather be fluffed than gloomy and unhappy with many complexions. I strife to be a happy simpleton, giving simple answers to difficult problems. Answers that to some even seem naive. But sometimes the simplest and most naive solutions are most effective and also take the greatest courage.
