Emptiness... Inside of us

Every human carries it with them. Trying to cover it up in their own hopeless ways. Things and people that bring pleasure and joy obscure it temporarily. Pain and suffering exposes it. No matter if a man had everything, it will still linger around for it can't be filled with something of "this world" . We truly need something "out of this world"..

A man's never ending quest for "having it all" yet to realise that it's not what he seek.. this is human's Bane,

Those moments of witnessing setting sun, pouring over endless ocean sometimes bring an unexplained feeling loneliness. Of not being home. Being left behind with the crowd of world. Perhaps finding "true home" is the drudgery of humanity. Seeking the ultimate satisfaction to find their happy ending. To fill that "emptiness".

Not all ways are hopeless. Paradoxically it is in realising our essential emptiness that proves to be a way of living in the fullness of the moment.

Being "empty" of expectation, of setting conditions of what we presume will bring us joy and fulfillment, can bring rest to the mind/heart.

Sincerely, not seeking to sound "enlightened" or any of that bullsh*t, I've had, and do have, times of struggle with mental health. But sometimes now the mist clears.

All the best to you.

How does one "meet" god?

On that glad night
in secret, for no one saw me,
nor did I look at anything
with no other light or guide
than the one that burned in my heart.

This guided me
more surely than the light of noon
to where he was awaiting me
— him I knew so well —
there in a place where no one appeared.

Yeah that is why I think humans are always " hungry" for something else, an other experience.

@revenant certainly it's designed that way.. creation n destruction is all around us.. so is with the rest of it... All this creation around us is manifested and then we try to go back to source again haha without that lacking even the creation wudnt sustain .. therz good and therz bad, like every reaction have equal n opposite reaction... So u create then u strive to dissolve it all find permanent place n peace. Right where u r from. Rather right what we r
