Very interesting responses here. I find it interesting that so many answers relate to why we are here, and people try to explain this through either our limited human understanding of science, or in some cases science-fiction. I was once full of sadness, regret, anxiety, and had such feelings of hopelessness and confusion. The world, and the answers the world tries to give to us,usually leave us in the same state of mind in which we began. One point of view saved me from the death that comes with living, I know we all must die physically, but I am speaking in terms of our spirit, which matters more then the flesh. I was told that we were created in the image of the Creator, meaning we are spiritual beings. Once you begin to realize that you were created, and that your individual life is of great significance to our creator, you will begin to feel compelled to know your creator and seek to fill your heart with something significant that no one, and no thing, can take away from you... EVER. We were designed with a void in our inner most being, that only can be filled with TRUTH, if you try to fill it with lies, you will become angry, hopeless, high on antidepressants... etc. "In the last days there will be many counterfeits", which there are; but there is only one true God with true meaning. And our God, however mysterious God is, has always been right in-front of us, and has revealed to us His glory through His miraculous creations. "The heavens declare Gods glory." Evolution is an unbalanced theory that has not been proven, yet it is taught in our schools as fact! Sexual perversion has become widely acceptable to our culture. The justice system is unjust. Our politicians lie to our face. Our medical system is designed, in too many ways, to make wealth and not health. We have genetically mutated plants to be more profitable yet those same plants carry harmful chemicals which we consume. Now, tell me who you can trust with your soul? What person, or government, or 'happy pill' do you count on everyday for happiness or security? How long until you will die? And who will take care of you when you do? "seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all else shall be added unto you" The truth is that we are all sinful, which causes anxiety and depression, because we choose to carry that burden on our own heart. We need guidance from our creator, and not from this corrupt world. If you want to understand the meaning of life, listen to what God has proclaimed to us since the beginning of time. God's words are the truth, and His words are POWERFUL. Why do you think that some people get upset while reading this? Perhaps, because the word of God reveals His glory and our sin. People tend to get angry before they admit guilt, but remember this, if you want peace in your heart, you need to accept forgiveness from the only one that can forgive. Don't deny your Lord and Savior because you are too proud! Be set free for EVER, and accept Jesus into your heart today, and live forever, and see what we were made to see, don't let the world confuse you and lie to you and tell you that you are worthless. We are all precious to God, which is why Jesus died for our sins, that we would be forgiven and would be counted worthy in the presence of our Father in Heaven, our everlasting resting place.
Is it normal to feel empty?
