On Vacuity

My high-school biology teacher often mentioned that Nature abhors a vacuum. 

Since humans originate from Nature, I think we do abhor a vacuum as well. We spend our whole lives filling holes or digging them to move dirt around.

Vacuity is an essential part of life. The question is, how do we fill it? And with what?

Work, sex, drugs, and other addictions are often used to forget this existential void.

I think it’s better to embrace it fully and learn to be comfortable with emptiness.

Maybe humans aren’t meant to be whole all the time and we are only the recipient of whatever life fills us with at the moment. A vase doesn’t care whether it’s hollow, full of beer or water, or if it has flowers inside: it just is, and its content is meant to change.
