You're so right that life is all about how we perceive it. And yes, there are usually two sides to a story, or even more! Being able to live both emptiness and fullness to their depths and heights is a gift, I feel. Wow, meditating at least once a day is something that I aspire to, and just never got round to doing seriously, so your example is a good reminder. By the way, you have a really impressive site. It's just so good-looking! I didn't even need to read the articles to be impressed, though I did read the featured article and was duly impressed - you write very well. Hi Taney,

It's as easy as looking at the half-empty/half-full glass. I believe that it's really exciting to have it filled to the top at times, while empty during other times. It gives us a chance to look at our lives at its high and low. As you experienced these moments early in life, it will help you later in life to appreciate the good times and overcome the bad times. Keeping a mindset that things were once great and could get better with time or the other perspective where things were once horrible and it could be much worse. No matter what the subject or idea is, I think people should always look at the pros and cons. It's like how you analyzed the whole idea of emptiness. There seems to be always two or more sides to a story and we just have to look at things from different lights and perspectives. Cool article! Emptiness is nice sometimes. I meditate at least once a day and I feel great when the mind is empty or some would like to call it mindfulness! (; I feel that it’s really just how you perceive.

Yes some people enjoy solitude - I'm one of them, and maybe you are too. There's nothing wrong with enjoying your own company. In fact, I think if everyone could love with themselves, we would have a lot fewer problems! At the same time it's nice to have other people in our lives. It's all about balance, I think.
