The Introduction

* [Fully edited version] *

     A feeling of emptiness is something that we experience at some times in our life. Many of us know what it is and how it feels. But strangely enough, it’s difficult to explain or describe in words. Then how do we know about it?
     From my own experience I’ve found an appropriate picture to the feeling:

 

     ‘During these helpless times, we feel being nobody. We are sick of questions such as who am I? What am I doing? Where am I going? Our mind makes us lost in these questions and confused in no answers. We get butchered by an inner voice, knocking in our soul on these questions. Our life gets off interest. We are no longer inspired by how the environment looks. Our exterior has now been insignificant as we run away each time we look in the mirror. We rest assured in being humiliated from a simple glance or even word of any person. Building up a mask to our feelings, we lock ourselves in a room and don’t come out. We abandon important to us people without any reasons. Then, feeling lonely, we get hugged by a teddy bear. We see the world in black and white. Living spark in our eyes had already snuffed out. With time we lose hope. Hoping against hope, when there is nothing more left than only dreams, we start to create a world, closed from everyone’s sight. A world of our dreams...

     Somewhere there we live in a castle standing on a rock. It’s our shelter. There is nothing else around, except water surrounding the rock.  Slowly, it approaches from all the sides. And then, suddenly, we realize that we are in the middle of the reality. Its bullets pierce with heartache. Our soul breaks into small pieces and with the tears fall in nowhere.  It’s a conflict. We are faced with emptiness...’

     Everyone's soul is an ocean. Our feelings live in its waves. The waves sail while we are at peace. But when something explosive falls in waves, they become rough. The ocean starts to rage. And in order to return it to its normal state, this threat must be cleared up or disarmed.
     But when people ask us: 'Hey, what happened? Are you ok? or 'What's wrong?' we use to answer: 'Oh, nothing! I'm fine. Everything is all right'. Why? We all are human beings who seek meaning, value and understanding. So then why do we hide our feelings? Why do we never express them? Do we really need 'raged ocean of feelings' inside us?

i am almost with you in this. really some questions are stuck to some replies but we still ask them although we know previously that we will get the same reply! how are you? i am fine, how is life, all is ok...i like th way you have discussed about this issue. i know that most of us are afraid from facing themselves thinking they may be endangered if they try to change their way of lives..great job really. i like the simplicity and easy vocabulary you used because it really fits the topic..
