    Why sometimes we can feel emptiness in our heart?
    Feel like nothing can satisfy us.

    Barring a very broad concept of human dissatisfaction -- of the sort possibly addressed by buddhistic adages -- there is no universal answer for that which would solve every individual case. Sometimes, as Big Pharma cliches go, it may just be a chemical imbalance. When one's life is actually well-integrated into the community and features an abundance of classically fulfilling elements -- or there's no apparent reason for the feeling that way, even after following some guideline investigations.

    It's not necessarily a problem with you. We are all starving for hope in a world that doesn't communicate any. Look for hope to ease the emptiness.

    Emptiness can be overcome with nature filling your spirit with things that it has within it to show you.

    That empty hole is an illusion. We call it the 'I'. Once the "who" aspect of your make-up disappears you'll become free of pain and illusion. What is required is that we locate it. Once that is done we can see right through it to its destruction.

    Sometimes it rains, sometimes the sun comes out.

    This is why atheists are not good at cheering people up.

    So you deny that humans have a range of feelings?

    True love can always satisfy. Or do you feel like love and satisfaction don't exist? Maybe you did something bad and you feel right now like your not worthy of satisfaction.

    May ten thousand stars explode in your honor, and fill you with brilliance and joy!

    Love is such a beautiful thing. Thank God in Heaven for whatever love we have in our lives.

    Can we thank him for emptiness too?

    You mean blame? No, we blame the atheists for feelings of emptiness.

    By nature God the Father is the ancestor of all things. Why he had bad things, I don't know yet.

    Gods never had 'bad things', they were all creators of good things and whenever things we may consider bad came along, was for the purpose of balance -like in the yin yang principle- as, for example life and death, creation and destruction, light and darkness.

    Still, please OP, clarify to us what exactly is that feeling of Emptiness of yours. It can swirl into a psychological pool and go ways you might not like, or imply that this feeling of emptiness is just a sympthom of a greater aspiration. We can't determine for sure.

    Can money, a lot of money, displace emptiness?

    If then, it's not emptiness in your heart, is emptiness in your wallet.

    Then how did bad things come to be?

    The philosopher Bruce Springsteen meditated on this very subject.

    Got a wife and kids in baltimore jack
    I went out for a ride and I never went back
    Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
    I took a wrong turn and I just kept going

    Everybodys got a hungry heart
    Everybodys got a hungry heart
    Lay down your money and you play your part
    Everybodys got a hungry heart

    I met her in a kingstown bar
    We fell in love I knew it had to end
    We took what we had and we ripped it apart
    Now here I am down in kingstone again

    Everybodys got a hungry heart...

    Everybody needs a place to rest
    Everybody wants to have a home
    Don't make no difference what nobody says
    Aint nobody like to be alone

    Everybodys got a hungry heart...

    Yes. It can at least give you the freedom to find things on your own. That's why leisure time is so important.
