A perspective worth considering
Tom Dietvorst
"We often have this sense that there’s something missing and then seek out ways to fill the supposed void. It is like having a glass that’s only partially full, and we have to find a way to fill it to completion. But the cup of reality is overflowing with its fullness. There’s no way to pour more water into the cup as it is already filled to the brim. The puzzle of presence is never missing a piece. It lacks nothing."
"Of course, in a human context, we can experience a sense of missing or lacking something (food, shelter, connection) and then seek to obtain whatever that is. But that sense of lack is itself the fullness of life, strange as that may sound. All our experiences, including the more challenging ones (confusion, misunderstanding, heartbreak) are nothing but the fullness of life."
