Saturday Thought: What We Hide

I was struck by this quote:

Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the
evil and the ugly in us, but our emptiness. The
hardest thing to hide is something that is not there.
--Eric Hoffer, Psychologist

We have a choice in what we fill ourselves with each
day and each moment of our lives. Sometimes, such
as when we meditate, we actually seek to experience
the "empty space" that underlies our thoughts and
feelings. In my way of thinking, emptiness too is an
aspect of who we are.

I think all of us--at times--seek to hide behind lots of
different things. Perhaps some even hide behind their
emptiness.
