Emptiness

Each one of us must once stare into the dark mouth, spiraling in the meaningless existence. As we wander about and ask ourselves questions about the meanings and aspirations, our spirits diminish. It is like the taste of bland sky without the rain. I think everybody knows what I am talking about, yet we're often so suprised from those experiences. The emptiness and lack of motivation inside us. Nothing makes us happy.
Yet try to look on the problem outside the box. Specifically, look east. In many Buddhist schools is this feeling the aim of creatures. Nirvana. They don't think about empty heart as a disadvantage, quite the contrary - it is strenght. Emptiness is the positive thing on many levels.
Who's right? Does it matter? I say this, whenever you feel down in the dumps, try to enjoy that feeling of motivationless existence. Build tranquility from the sadness, so you can use your strength another day.
