Many times we empower people, situations and conditions so much that we seem to be under their control than the other way round. Our happiness and peace are at the mercy of those things which are beyond our circle of influence. A best friend, a supportive team member, a trusted spouse, or a compassionate teacher. All of these are beyond your expectations and wishes. They can change , many times they will change. So do the conditions and situations around us. Not just they stop nurturing us but can sometimes be damaging to our mental and emotional well-being.
Emptiness is to take out all those wires and connections which give power to these counter productive expectations from people and situations around us. It is not to cut with those people but to take away the dependence and attachment associated with them. Acceptance and compassion are the access to move towards peace and happiness. Peace for ourselves, peace for those around us.
