The speed and intensity in which we live in this world is out of control. Things are going at hyper speed and the more we get accomplished in a day is regarded with high esteem. Maximizing our human potential would in itself create tremendous results, but when does that step over the line and become just another way to fill the bottomless pit. What is the bottomless pit and what can really fill I up? Also, what are our intentions in rushing around?

The longing is in our hearts and there are moments in which we tune into this deep sadness of not knowing who we are and what this life is all about. When we do things in service of others we can potentially become connected to what it really means to be alive in this world. When we do things for ourselves we can potentially be of more service to others. However, either of these things can just be another thing to do in order to solidify our own sense of self or to make ourselves better. When the heart is not involved, it becomes just another way to be the best personality and win a game that has no winner. We put on faces for each other. We try hard to know the most, feel the most, and accomplish the most. Sometimes for others and sometimes for ourselves. Sometimes breaking through individual barriers and creating from infinity. While at other times riding the waves of samsara and wishing that for just one brief moment, something would fill this void. We fill it with doing, with Internet, with food, with traveling. Sometimes we don’t even realize it exists.

What would we do if there were nothing left to fill it? If what we are wanting is not out there to accomplish or to have?
