When you want to be photographed, you are
asked to present your best angle or profile. Today, everywhere, we must project
our best selves too. No one really wants to know what lies behind or beyond with
side effects always.
I have seen the most socially successful
people who match the above description to the tee, very lonely behind closed
doors and sometimes, very depressed because there is no one to bear your heart
to. That is sad, don't you think?
What happened to "everyone needs
someone”? There are so many empty spaces in the hearts of so many. These
manifest in many different ways; often in an obscene display of wealth or in
"one upmanship” trying to fill the empty spaces externally to compensate
as it were, for those within. But can you ever accomplish that? I doubt. And
you also stand alone in the bargain. You might be the object of sycophancy but
may not be that of a heart connection.
The ultimate is to fill these spaces with
spiritual thought and study and thus, to become grounded in the universal
truth.
