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 [i]realising[/i] 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.
