Have you ever felt empty? Life feels empty?

Feel empty. Then we try to run from the void, try to fill the void, try to understand the void.
And those efforts in the end will still make us feel empty again.
Nothing can completely fill the void.
At home, most nights, I watch movies on streaming services. My special time to relax watching movies. Are you like that too?
One night, even though the movie wasn't finished yet, I was already sleepy. I
Turn off the tv. Usually goes to the bathroom and then to bed.
This time it was unusual.
I turn off the tv. And I'm still sitting on the couch watching the tv screen. that TV screen no more movies. Blank tv screen and empty feeling like tv screen.
Where in it contained various thoughts, feelings, events, comedy, tragedy, and drama of life.
When I turn off the tv, the tv screen is there. When the tv is on, there is a movie with various movie moments in it. the tv screen is still there.
The same goes for feeling empty. No matter how hard we try to fill it, want to run fast, somersault, interpret acrobatically, feeling empty will always be there.
In this life what we think is opposite or contradictory turns out to be complementary.
Emptiness is not the opposite of content, but emptiness completes content.
If we are truly aware of this, it will slowly manifest itself within, acceptance of the feeling of emptiness.

When you don't have your own good thoughts you feel empty. Better listen to some good music when you feel so and you'll feel good.

You raise some interesting points there about emptiness.
But does emptiness complete content, or does emptiness include content?
Which includes which?
Does content fill emptiness?
Which is greater emptiness, or content?
In the beginning was God, emptiness, and love.
Creation came about as content, when love moved across the emptiness, and created itself into parts of something within emptiness, which is infinite but empty, whereas with love it is infinite, but full, and between the two states, God connects emptiness to infinite fullness with his love.
Love turns into content as it moves through emptiness, and a field of love is created, which is both a field, and infinite particles of itself, called creation, which matter, then gathers around to form forms.
Each particle of matter has love's energy within it, and which gives life, or a soul, to that particle, and also connects it back to God too.
