Emptiness.

Lately everyone seems empty to me. Everyone just goes on and keeps moving because of the mob pressure, because of society's rules. Seemingly everybody just acts according to what they are supposed to do dictated by society. No one thinks anymore, they just apply everyone's rules to their own individual cases, whether they are for the good or the bad, the general ideals are just taken and applied in each personal situation, which avoids the further reflexion or thinking of the optimal action for each scenario. 

I am confused, because I do not know the definition of not being empty. I do not know whether I am another hollow sack of flesh or something not inherently valuable, but worthy nonetheless because of my effort and my mind. I cannot define not being empty, because I sadly believe almost everyone I have ever met it, and the ones that seem to escape that fate, end up letting me down. I do not even know what I am expecting, I just feel nothing fulfills any of my unknown expectations.

Perhaps emptiness does not exist, only in my mind, and everyone is infinitely worthy and valuable, except that no one notices it. Maybe being the only things alive in light years makes us inherently and magically valuable, but we might be empty all in all. It might be possible that we are just some junction of bones and muscles preprogrammed to try to be as happy as possible, and maybe all our actions are just steps towards that final goal, steps we do not even stop and think about, steps which are automatically triggered by the situation. With empty people I mean this. Humans which do not break away from the chains of nature, who accept their condition and live as a programmed avatar. Do we really think something sometime, or are we just automated goos? Did we ever make any decision? Did anyone ever made a truly alternative path? Or has there everything we have done been just algorithmic choices towards the future with the most possibilities of enhancing our happiness?
