Heights can be reached in various spheres of life: in business, family, politics, etc. Only a person from this does not become happier. Emptiness in the soul, melancholy, sadness, sadness are frequent “visitors” of the human heart. What is missing? What prevents to live calmly and happily? The answer is banal - there is not enough elementary understanding of one’s being and determination of more significant goals.
Some lead a wild lifestyle, trying to "find happiness" at the bottom of the bottle or in countless "love" adventures. But are they happy? The emptiness in the soul is only growing.
Emptiness is often felt immediately after awakening. If there is a family that needs to be taken care of and maintained, then at least something pushes the person forward, and if not ?! He can speak beautifully, talk about religion, but still he is visited by emptiness, especially when he is left alone with himself. Problems at work, family conflict, illness or other troubles can destroy a person, destroy a shaky system of values and again emptiness in the soul.
For almost all of us, the primary motivation in choosing a job is money. Although research scientists have not been able to detect the relationship between income and happiness. In the period from 1957 to 1990 in the United States there was a double increase in income. But the statistics of the polls revealed that the level of happiness remained unchanged, and the number of depressions increased tenfold. We all know how to survive, but not many of us know how to live.
For some time people are driven by an incentive: here I’ll buy a beautiful car, a house, there will be an opportunity to relax in the most beautiful corners of the world, and I will be happy! A person achieves what he wants, but never finds happiness. He meets again with emptiness. A person gains more prosperity, but spiritual uplift is not observed. Someone finds more and more hobbies, sits all day at the TV or plays computer games, hoping in this way to escape from oppressive thoughts. But it only gets harder. Others begin to think more about religion, but even this reassures them only for a while.
Why is everything so complicated? There may be several reasons for this condition. One of them is the lack of a priority significant goal in life. Everyone must have a goal. Anyone who knows the "why" to live will endure any "how."
Every day there must be a development: spiritual, physical, intellectual, and this is more significant than buying new clothes or a car. For example, a believer never has a feeling of emptiness in his soul and despair. At the moment of “spiritual drought” for him every word in the Holy Scripture is like heavy rain with a multi-colored rainbow. That is, a believer becomes only stronger, wiser, more flexible, encountering difficulties and troubles on his life path. Generating negativity into positive emotions, he always retains in his heart joy and confidence in success. It is almost impossible to break any life incident.
The ability to control your feelings, yourself, your impressions is the key to happiness.
Emptiness in the soul is a faithful companion of loneliness, which we all sometimes experience. People try in every possible way to avoid this feeling, to be afraid to be alone with themselves, with their thoughts, emotional questions and throwings. We turn on the TV, radio, trying to distract ourselves and do something, just to not hear what is happening inside us.
But is loneliness really so terrible? And should it be avoided in every way?
Loneliness is the best way to understand yourself.
The emptiness in the soul is a state when the soul rushes about in search of the truth about life. We begin to feel emptiness when we do not find answers to the main questions of the soul, or known ones do not satisfy us.
A person is extremely weak and often follows the opinion of people and prevailing stereotypes, thus living his own life, forgetting about the needs of his soul. Carnal pleasures and passions hide simple truths from us. Plunging into unnecessary fuss, we cease to feel real life. And left alone with ourselves, willy-nilly, we think about it.
In moments of loneliness, emptiness and longing, it is important not to seek solace in entertainment, not to distract yourself with empty pursuits, but to try to answer yourself the priority questions of the soul.
