Love Tank Vs. Existential Void
www.freeimages.com
At first glance, they seem so similar, however they have different meanings when we are aware of them.
Sometimes we need to be empty, so we can see how much difference it makes when we are complete. I am not talking about filling the existential void, which is what we usually do, either by shopping, relationships, etc. You can recognize it because it is never enough. You always need more and more. The existential void can never get filled up, however, the love tank can!
We fuel our tank with worthy things. Would you fill up your car’s tank with bad gas? No way!
Then I am choosing worthy moments, people and words. Consequently, I am feeling more confident and strong. The love tank also needs to be replenished constantly. But differently than the existential void, after filling it up, we feel genuine well-being. Probably you won’t have more cravings beause you are satisfied.
What has been the fuel that you are choosing to fill up your love tank?
