Abstract

This article is about the possibilities of existential emptiness, focusing on its scope, its alternatives and its contributions to the human being. There are, therefore, seven characteristics of the void that it fills: its source is detachment, it leads to the expulsion of fears, anguishes and hatreds, it arises from acceptance, it encourages the liberation of alienations, it overcomes univocity and allows the distinction between our opinion and the truth. The emptiness that it fills directs the individual to the recognition of his own limits and to the intuition of the Order that is usually alien to the intellection.
