The social spaces
Have you ever sat on a beach looking at the waves going up and down? Is that empty space?
The answer is, it depends. When you are looking at the waves, you are not looking at the waves. You are thinking about life. You think about the waves being a metaphor for the ups and downs of life. I have, every time I have been on a beach.
Have you been to a hill station and looked at the mountains, standing somewhere in the middle of them? Is that empty space?
The answer is, it depends. When you look at the peak of the mountains, you think about the highs of your life, and when you look at the hollow depths of the mountain, you think about the lows. Whenever mountain beckon, I have done this exercise.
Spaces are only physically empty. If they are empty metaphorically depends on us, and how we view those spaces.
Is your home empty?
May be it is not, if you are fortunate to have people who love you, live inside it. A home where nobody loves each other may feel quite empty, even if it is full of people.
