Why do we feel empty at times?

Consumerism and lack of connection to others- shopping, stuff, is too often a substitute for love and affection. But if not shopping -there is something else put in place of that to value- so a disconnect happens over time.

When the world was bigger- and families did things together-(all the time) we had less of that emptiness.

Used to be we took a car and went places. Together- and so what if not all liked the destination- somehow, fun would be made.

Now 17 year old Jimmy is using his Dad's second car.

19 year old Nancy has a job and bought a second hand vehicle.

Mom has hers.

Dad 's second vehicle is a truck

And they all have cells and a social media life- Even IF all 4 are at home- they talk via framebook and cells- not person to person.

Yes, framebook, any idea how many thousands of marriages where one has been slandered on framebook "framed" and they are no longer married?

We are threefold beings. Physical, emotional, and spiritual. Anything lacking in those three categories can lead to emptiness.

Because sometimes our soul misses our real home.💫We have to do more than feed our bodies, we have to feed our souls too.✨

Because we are.

Maybe at all times we are essentially empty vessels looking towards something other than ourselves to fill that emptiness?

For me, I find a lack of companionship and intimacy leaves me feeling exactly like that... empty. 😕

When we give too much of ourselves without an equal amount of return/receiving, we become depleted.

I feel empty all the time. Why? Because I'm empty inside.

Maybe you are empty on some level?
