Sense of Deficient Emptiness

November 25, 2022 by Linda Patterson 27 Comments

Dr. Gabor Mate, a Psychiatrist from Canada, has written about drug addicts because he is an expert. I will write this article and be writing a lot from his articles and interviews. His talk about drug addicts that are more painfully conscious of this void than most people, and has limited means of escaping it. He goes on to say that the rest of us, like you and me who have been able to stay away from drugs or alcohol have other ways. the following is from Dr. Mate’s interview with Eric Zimmer.

“A sense of deficient emptiness pervades our entire culture. The Drug Addict is more painfully conscious of this void than most people and has limited means of escaping it. The rest of us find other ways of suppressing our fear of emptiness or of distracting ourselves from it.”

Dr. Mate goes on to say that children have a primary need to attach to a parent — to attach to nurturing adults. That is just a need of all mammals.

Ss long as the culture provides an environment in which children are related to nurturing adults, especially in a village or a clan or a community setting – that child is very secure. One of the things that our culture has done is it has broken up the clan, the tribe, he community, the neighborhood.

Children have to attach to somebody. They cannot handle life without being connected to somebody. And who do they attach to? Who do they connect to? They connect to the peer group.

Sense of Deficient Emptiness

Dr. Mate goes on to say about feeding the wolf but also the externals of our culture, entertainment, sports, and politicians have made it seem like their lifestyle is best for you and me. But, in actuality, we have our own value, we are what gives us purpose and meaningful life. We are Ok, just do what is best for you and develop into that person you want to be for a meaningful life. Feed YOU.

    I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else experiencing problems with your website.
    It appears as though some of the written text in your content
    are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to
    them too? This could be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen before.
    Kudos

    Can I simply just say what a comfort to uncover someone that genuinely knows
    what they are discussing on the web. You certainly understand how to bring a problem to light and make
    it important. More and more people must check this out and understand
    this side of the story. I was surprised you are not more popular since you definitely possess the gift.

    Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against
    hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked
    hard on. Any recommendations?

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though
    you relied on the video to make your point.
    You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you
    could be giving us something informative to read?
