When all is quiet and all is still, and there's this emptiness inside, and you don't know what to do with it, know that love will fill it. Only love.
Love is when you seek to benefit others instead of yourself, connecting us in mutual concern and responsibility, and connecting us to God Himself.
This new connection brings new fulfillment, and that's what will fill that emptiness we feel inside.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. God is with us and to Him we shall all return.

Forever Empty
In this funny but very real segment, comedian Louis C.K. explains to Conan O'Brien about that 'forever empty' feeling we all feel inside.
We don't want a single moment of emptiness, we don't want to feel alone, so we fill our days with meaningless nothingness to distract us from that empty feeling - turning to drugs, alcohol, gambling, food, work, entertainment, hobbies and other distractions.
We feel empty because we're disconnected from each other and from God Himself. Only God can fill that empty place that exists within each and every one of us.
Cry out to The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Ask Him to help you and He will hear your cry.

Fulfillment comes only when our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal and we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
Then we'll connect with each other in mutual concern and consideration and we'll become connected to God in quality. Plus, we'll begin to sense spiritual pleasure, which will fill us in ways nothing else ever could.

What's That Emptiness Within Us?
There's an emptiness within people, a deep loneliness, a hole that's unfulfilled, a feeling of isolation and disconnection, an unhappiness they people can't seem to shake.
People have tried everything to fill that emptiness: relationships, family, work, money, religion, adventures, new experiences, sex, drugs, music, alcohol, gambling, food, power, knowledge, honour, fame etc. All these pleasures are fleeting and people remain unfulfilled.
Today, we're all immersed in the quality of selfishness, seeking to benefit ourselves. In this state, any pleasure we feel is fleeting and it quickly fades away. So we remain unfulfilled.
The reason we're unfulfilled is because we've been looking for love in all the wrong places. Love is about connection with others and we've been immersed in ourselves.
Love is when you seek to benefit others instead of yourself. This is the quality of bestowal.
The quality of bestowal is God's quality and God is love. If our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, we'll become similar to God in quality.
In this way we'll connect to God in quality and we'll connect to each other in mutual responsibility - we'll seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
When we taste this true connection, the connection with God and the connection with each other, we'll sense a new kind of pleasure, spiritual pleasure, and this pleasure comes directly from God Himself. This pleasure will fill us completely and the emptiness within us will disappear.
We're all one family and we have to start behaving like one family. We have to treat each other with respect, dignity, compassion and love. We have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
