Can material satisfaction fill the emptiness of the heart?

People living in big cities often feel empty and at a loss. How can we get rid of this state of mind as soon as possible and live happily again? To get out of the emptiness, you can adjust your needs in a timely manner, ask for social support, work selflessly, and so on.

The following will introduce you to how to get out of the "emptiness" and "melancholy" of life

Seek social support.

When a person is frustrated or wandering, it is especially necessary to have someone to give them strength and support, sympathy and understanding. Only with social support can you not feel empty and lonely.

Well-read. Reading is a recipe for filling emptiness. Reading can help people find the key to solving problems, and free people from loneliness and emptiness. The more you read, the more knowledge you have, and the more fulfilling your life becomes.

Work selflessly.

Labor is an excellent measure to get rid of emptiness. When a person concentrates and devotes himself to his work, he will forget the pain and troubles caused by emptiness, and see his own social value from his work, so that his life is full of hope.

Adjust demand targets.

The empty mindset tends to arise in two situations. First, there is no ambition. The second is that the goal is unrealistic, making it difficult to achieve the goal and lose motivation.

Therefore, to get rid of emptiness, you must adjust your life goals in time according to your actual situation, so as to mobilize your potential and enrich your life.

Target Transfer. When a goal is hindered and difficult to achieve, it is a good idea to shift the goal, such as taking up your hobbies (painting, calligraphy, playing ball, etc.) outside of study or work to calm your mind. When a person has new pleasures, new pursuits arise; With a new pursuit, you will gradually complete the adjustment of the content of your life, and you will be freed from the state of emptiness and welcome a new and colorful life.

What people know best is themselves, and what they don't know the most is themselves. The root cause of people's psychological problems is mostly because people have the nature of "mediocrity and self-disturbance".

It depends on people, and some people value material things

Most emptiness may come from a sense of uncertainty. Don't know what you have, what you think, what you want? I don't know who I am, I came from, to**go?

I don't know if I'm a** at the moment, will I go** later? I don't know what I'm like in the eyes of others, whether I have a place in other people's hearts, I don't know who is close to me, who is far away from me, etc., in short, n kinds of uncertainties, life is like a grass without roots, floating in the air, so, unsteady, empty, anxious, panic. To get rid of this feeling, you can try, first withdraw your consciousness from your body, look down at yourself from a height, who I am, what I have, what am I doing now, what can I do, I can go to **, find the heart anchor, fix the current me well, and then, towards more unknowns, slowly move your steps and explore your life.

No matter where I go, no matter what I encounter, my roots are there, don't worry too much about being outgoing, talkative may seem more energetic, introverted and quiet are not necessarily unattractive. People are not meant to be made by a template. There are some things that can be learned, and some things that are not born to be learned.

Even if I can't learn, even if I can't do it, I still love myself, accept myself, and be myself. For the circle that you can't get into, the friends you can't make, don't force it, let it be, those things may not be so important. Learn to walk alone first (in another article I wrote in Zhihu) to endure loneliness.

Your soul may not belong to these general acquaintances, but to a higher distance. When you reach a certain height, you will meet the sky and the earth and the earth is wide, and all kinds of gods and goddesses will come uninvited. Why worry about the road ahead without a confidant, who in the world does not know you?

Jun, in the strict sense of the word, you can't be a problem. I don't think the relationship between material satisfaction and spiritual emptiness is so stereotyped, and I have to draw some dialectical philosophical perspectives to look at this issue. Matter, though superficially real, is actually very empty, while spirit, although empty, can also be very real at times.

Material things do not seek to be rich, but to be able to meet the needs of daily life and study and other basic needs, but to live, work, study and treat everything at all times to maintain a good attitude, not to be happy, not to be sad, peaceful and indifferent, so that there will be no spiritual emptiness, usually plant flowers, drink tea, cultivate more good hobbies, so that even if the material life is not too rich, the spirit will be very happy. In response to your question, I believe that every wise person should not first of all control his spiritual life by the level of material conditions, no matter which material class he belongs to, he must maintain a happy state of mind, and usually find more things to do that can make him happy. And the attitude of the material aspect, don't pursue too much, learn to be satisfied, the pursuit of material is endless in a person's life, as long as you understand it in this way, you will maintain a flat mentality, only try your best, not pressure.

Therefore, don't choose either of the answers you said, the only thing to choose is to choose the kind of life that is as calm as water, and strive for more and better material life in a planned way under the premise of always being spiritually rich.

It depends on your pursuit, if it is the pursuit of romanticism, it is the latter, and if it is the pursuit of realism, it is the former.
