तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय
Empty Spaces
Moments come and go. Every moment is associated with a certain sense of expectation and anticipation. These expectations are not fixed and every next moment might have a new one associated with it. But the common attribute of all of them is that we keep looking for something which can fill those various voids. The voids which we seem to pick up from various facets of our life. To no person everything seems to be complete. These voids are there for everyone, from a rich to a poor, from an intellectual to a fool, from a noble to a peasant, from an honest person to a swindler.
So, voids are there with everyone. But where do these voids exist within us? That does vary, and that is what defines the character and traits of a man. This in a way is a just a different way of looking at life, proffering that you are not defined by what you possess but by what you don’t. And this consideration can be best applied when you are to look at your own self. For others to judge you, they can’t really find those “voids”, as they are essentially within you and your superficial appearance and behavior don’t really reveal them to others.
The voids may exist in our nature so as to affect our behavior and dealings with other people. They might exist in our appearance, thereby affecting the way others behave with us. But the biggest and the most obscure voids exists in one’s mind. Better to say, we create those voids for ourselves. Such a conundrum is life that we often forget to realize what is really important for us and what is not. In reality, life itself presents these voids to us, in a more or less similar manner. It only varies in the way how we perceive them.
