"Many people are afraid of Emptiness, however, because it reminds them of Loneliness. Â Everything has to be filled in, it seems-appointment books, hillsides, vacant lots-but when all the spaces are filled, the LonelinessÂ really begins. Â Then the Groups are joined, the Classes are signed up for, and the Gift-to-Yourself items are bought. Â When the Loneliness starts creeping in the door, the Television Set is turned on to make it go away. Â But it doesn't go away. Â So some of usÂ doÂ instead, and after discarding the emptiness of the Big Congested Mess, we discover the fullness of Nothing."
