the movie is not just the screen. the screen, however, is used as a scintillating reflective surface for projection of movies. (is this an example of anger? )

You can't keep projecting anger onto the world because you've been dealt some bad cards, lest the bad cards keep coming.
Why?

No, why should I not project my anger to the world, so that it gets one step closer to its annihilation.

Some of my closest friends growing up were deaf. Unique perspectives an overview if you will. Also the ability to simply and concisely make your point due to sign. Pity you have none of these traits.

A common theme I've noted over the years is that people who are suffering tend to equate a void and emptiness with their pain. I suggest that perception is wrong and that the void is actually not empty but desireful. It's an emotional buildup that needs to be released on a regular basis. Did your meaningful social interaction include carnal expression and intimate relationships? If not, perhaps the sobriety, the art, exercise and social interaction were more than their own reward, instead preparations to create a sense of comfort that could then be put to use. If you were to find yourself working to make someone else's experience as joyful as possible, you might not be so focused on your own lack of meaning. The stuff of life may be but tricks to keep us going, but they are damn good tricks. It is at least worth fully exploring rather than getting halfway and assuming where it all ends.

Memories said: It's been a while since I've posted here. Hope some familiar faces will be able to chime in.
How many of you relate to feeling a sort of ever present void inside of you, typically stemming from a general dissatisfaction with life and the lack of any sort of concrete meaning or purpose on how, or even why, one should continue living?
I was sober for over a year, and i was able to find some relatively effective distractions in the forms of art, exercise, and meaningful social interaction, but even with these tools, there always seems to be that emptiness inside of me.
Lately i feel like i've been coming back to the idea of death anxiety being the primary human motivator, and the diverse actions we engage in primarily serving the purpose of distracting us from the ultimate fate we will all share.

in that painful void, they find LACK of what they desire. in the glorious void, you find NOTHING that you would avoid.

>>>>in that painful void, they find LACK of what they desire.
It's not that it's not there but that being unable to identify it, it's unknown and appears as darkness and emptiness.
But there is no such thing as an actual void. If there was we would be unable to be aware of it since we cannot perceive something that does not exist. Better to assume it is something and get to work finding out what it is.

welcome back Memories how did you get from that teaser about emptiness to the notion of death anxiety.
I thought you would make a more elaborate description about the Void, and maybe Filling the Void, but Death Anxiety is a dud. no need to plop that on something interesting.
Best response on this thread and what I was thinking as well.
