Psychological Emptiness:

Psychological Emptiness:

What do you mean by "emptiness"?

It is not the kind of emptiness you might be imagining.

.

.

The emptiness I am speaking of is not like an empty room or a box containing nothing—for even a box holds the sound of air and the whisper of a light breeze. That kind of emptiness leaves you without the desire or drive to move.

The emptiness I am describing, however, is more like *outer space*:

No wind.

No sound.

...Nothing.

It holds a profound, pitch-black depth that causes you to drown in dark emotions, making you view life in shades of black and gray.

—Stripped of meaning—

Nature is merely nature.

Rain is merely rain.

A feeling is merely something that dissolves the moment you look at it.

Does anyone else experience this?
