Emptiness and Fullness. Human Life’s goal may be described as fulfilment. Both the questions of where, in which place, under what conditions, fulfilment is sought, and how this motion takes place are of fundamental if we want to understand what searching for fulfilment actually means. Fulfilment implies an emptiness that is to be filled. Whether the human being is a being defined by lack, and thus a being that suffers an emptiness of the heart, or whether humans are born fulfilled is an open debate. It is however certain that emptiness and fullness play an important role in our everyday conversations about life. But what do we mean when we say that a life is empty? Do we mean the same as when we call an utterance empty? Is time empty the way space is? Quite similarly, fullness evokes related topics and questions. Structured by all these, place and motion of human life are discussed. In all questions mentioned, the issue of the adequate measure of emptiness and fullness reverberates. How much fullness is good for life? Might an empty life even be the one, that is truly fulfilling?
