emptiness vs Him

It rarely happens to me that I am sitting and feeling confronted with emptiness. And yet in all that I sense His presence. The spirits in western Europe, as I well remember from my youth, convey emptiness of everything, especially of life’s meaning.

Space

“I want my own space,” is certainly a product of an affluent culture. There are rich Indians just as there are poor Americans, but a culture needs a lot of people to produce it and get people immersed in it. In that sense, a desire for “my space” would seem to be an American way of life practised by others too across the globe, especially in richer families with fewer kids.

In India, admittedly, lack of space is only one of the factors why people are in each other’s business.

Which would make it seem at first glance that privacy is elusive to Indians. And that Americans who are used to space would be more private.
