EXISTENTIAL EMPTINESS

Empty is a concept that comes from the Latin word vacīvus . The term refers to that which lacks content . Existential , for its part, is an adjective linked to the action of existing (being, possessing life, belonging to reality).

Existential emptiness

The notion of existential emptiness is used to name a sensation that people have in certain contexts. For philosophers, this idea is part of the human condition since it is inherent in the life experience of people.

A human being experiences an existential emptiness when he does not find meaning in his life . In this way, he feels alienated. Existential emptiness can lead to the development of depression and other psychological disorders.

The person with existential emptiness is often bored, pessimistic, and apathetic . He does not find anything that generates enthusiasm or that causes him joy: on the contrary, he feels that there is no worthwhile goal.

It is important to bear in mind that, in certain situations, it is normal for a subject to feel a void. This happens, for example, when you move or when a family member dies. If this feeling of emptiness extends over time , it can be spoken of an existential emptiness because the person failed to "fill" that space with another motivation or emotion.

Se considera que el citado vacío existencial se ha convertido en un “mal contemporáneo” pues son muchas las personas que lo sufren. Y es que vivimos en una sociedad donde hay numerosas situaciones que pueden provocarlo como son el ritmo estresante de vida que se lleva a cabo en las ciudades, los altos niveles de delincuencia, el que la sociedad apueste porque la única felicidad es ser alguien de éxito y respetado con una gran cuenta bancaria, que no se tiene tiempo para disfrutar de los seres queridos y de los hobbies….

To be able to put aside that sensation of existential emptiness, you can resort to endless tools and undertake numerous actions, among which we can highlight the following:
-Set new goals in life, as that will awaken the energies and the illusion, desire to move on.
-Know how to accept the reality that exists.
-Find more time to be able to do everything you want and like.
-Reflect on all the good and positive things you have in life.
-Try to find the cause of the problem in order to give it a solution or, at least, to assimilate it in the correct way.
-Stop comparing yourself with other people.
-Establish your own rules and not be pressured by the rules imposed by society.
-Ask for help if deemed necessary.

Another way to leave that emptiness behind can be to rely on the well-known method of the Swedish philosopher Peter Wessel, which is known as "The Last Messiah" and which is based on eliminating any negative thoughts, getting distracted, performing creative activities ...

Another aspect to consider is that emptiness is not interpreted in the same way in western culture and in eastern culture . While, for the western world, emptiness is linked to depression, for the eastern world it can be associated with a higher state where the human being feels fulfilled: there is nothing to disturb him.

ZIP

Zip is a concept that is used in computing  to name certain storage formats, whether physical or virtual. At the software  level , zip is used to understand data (text documents, images, programs, etc.) without loss of quality. The format (whose extension is . zip ) is used by various programs , both commercial and free. Its creator, the programmer Phil Katz (founder of PKWARE ), had to face a lawsuit for the violation of copyright in the development of the format. The zip uses various compression algorithms and supports an encryption system that is based on a unique key. Critics consider this encryption to be weak and vulnerable to different types of cyber attacks. Among the methods of understanding used by zip, they are the contraction ( shrinking ), the reduction ( reducing ) and implosion ( imploding ). Why do some users prefer RAR? Zip is often compared to rar, and there are various approaches, ranging from simple matters of taste to in-depth analysis to find the best co...

VASSAL

Vassal is the one who, in ancient times, was obliged to pay fiefdom . It was the subject of a sovereign or any other type of supreme government , and it was linked to some lord (noble) through a bond of vassalage. The concept is typical of feudalism , a system of social organization that prevailed in western Europe between the 9th and 15th centuries . This society was based on the cultivation of the land by the serfs or vassals, who had to deliver part of their production to the lord (who, in turn, was loyal to a king). The vassal was the man who requested protection from a nobleman of superior rank (from the point of view of the social hierarchy) and who swore allegiance to him on his behalf. Both established a vassalage contract that implied mutual obligations. The lord granted the usufruct of a fief to the vassal, who administered it and took advantage of his income, although without having the property. The lord received part of the agricultural production in exch...

DISCRETE VARIABLE

The variables are symbols that can acquire different values and appear in formulas, algorithms, functions and propositions of mathematics and statistics. According to their particularities, they are classified differently. There are random variables , dependent variables , independent variables , variables qualitative , quantitative variables and continuous variables , among others. This time we will refer to the discrete variables . It is interesting to know the etymological origin of the two words that give shape to the term that now occupies us: -Variable derives from Latin, more precisely from “variabilis” which is the result of the sum of two elements of that language: the verb “variare ", Which can be translated as" change of appearance ", and the suffix" -able ", which is used to indicate" possibility ". -Discrete, on the other hand, also comes from Latin. In your case, it is the result of the union of two other components: th...
