Why do I feel empty when things are going well?

Sometimes everything seems in order on the outside: studies, work, plans, relationships, goals. But on the inside a question remains that will not go out: "what for?". Emptiness does not always mean you lack things. Many times it means that meaning is missing. Happiness does not arise merely from achieving, but from orienting life toward something worthwhile. Emptiness does not always call for more stimuli or more achievements. Sometimes it reveals that you need a direction capable of ordering what you do and opening you to service.
