The Emptiness of Existence

My refelction on my first podcasat:

What is existence! Existence means to be real to be true to the human brain or mind. Existence is not just life it is the realm of our mind. What is emptiness! Emptiness is the state of loneliness or nothingness. Nothing is there. The 2 seem to be contradicting each other or in mathematical terms canceling each other out. The nothingness of truth. Which is what I got from the podcast. It required me to be deep in thought and to step outside my box. It required another way of thinking which is what philosophers do. Excellent points that cant be summed up into nothingness.
What has been exist no more. Continual motion creates consciousness, it is when motion stops that existence is no more that we become unconscious and cold to the world. We become face to face with boredom. We run towards the past because we don’t know the future so we are constantly seeking the same results. Boredom is the feeling of emptiness in life. Man is never satisfied with a portion he must have whole but once whole is exhausted your're back to nothing which leads back to the feeling of emptiness. Man is a compound of difficult needs that is very hard to satisfy. Life is like a never ending chase for happiness. We think we know what happiness is but it is an illusion, life is an illusion.
I think the pod cast was very interesting. Many questions I have but for now I am content. Life is what you make it no matter what it is, illusion or delusion. Make sure to fill your existence with something and not emptiness. If your're bored seek happiness if you don’t’ know what that is run and don’t stop until you find it. That way you’ll never get bored because you’ll always have something to do….

Sincerely,

Life

Man must create his own meaning in the face of the chaos of the universe. Accepting that everything and everyone is ultimately transitory is the first step in being comfortable in life.
