Empty Thought - Isn't that a fallacy?

How can there be a thought, and be empty, at the same time? Is not that a fallacy?
There must be an explanation. After all, no matter who says it and who thinks of this - there is always a reason and a justification. It is their point of view. Her or his life experience, that is. Reflections of their mind. It is how they have done and seen it always. There are always some content behind it. There has to be.

Therefore, the question ought to be - what is the weight of the thought, actually? Is it empty in its gravity? Is it is empty in its essence? Is it something beyond our eyes normally sees and mind usually thinks? Is it simply because you and I have not seen or heard this before? 
Why do we not go little deeper than that?  Because to understand, is to excel. To fathom is to be able to dive deeper for the precious pearl. To see beyond the normal, is to be able to sharpen our senses and abilities that can expand and broaden beyond our imaginations. 

When we encounter a new idea, new term, new topic, new concept, anything new or anything that we have not been exposed to until now - our minds, body, brains and limbs start rebelling! But, wait ...

Let us open the windows, doors and ventilators of our minds for a few minutes. Let us step aside for a few minutes from what we knew. Let us empty our minds. As if the beautiful garden-breeze just swept away the stuffy air from the room. Wait for a second or two. Pause. Activate all five organs. And, the sixth. Take a deep breath. Ahh... 
Now ... Do you smell the fragrance? Do you start feeling the light touches of the breeze? Do you feel the weightlessness of yourself? Your mind is in an unknown paradise by now. Ahh ... ahh... just take another deep breath. Feels beautiful, doesn't it?
Perhaps ... by now you started to feel the gravity of the new thought that you just heard for the first time in your life. Perhaps, you just started to smell the essence of the new idea. Perhaps, you started to understand what and how much was consumed to bring up the idea. Even better, we might have started to like the idea now and just start asking questions about it too!
Going few steps forward, we may even start thinking of the idea of our very own and start contributing to shape it up. That is beautiful. 
The empty thought that was, now has the initiator, new contributors and ultimately its builders. The concept is now ripping to fruition. It now grows, enables harvesting and spread its seeds across. Its essence has spread. Its weight has impacted many others. The effort has infused other thoughts and initiatives.
The true fallacy is indeed our reluctance to open up our minds and our senses, lack of interest to activate deeper thinking. As you see, it is not that difficult after all. It truly can be refreshing experience after all. We just have to open the doors to feel that fresh air, smell the fragrance and go little more inside of ourselves. Believe me, once we start experience it, there is no stopping! So go on ... think big, think together and think collaboratively. 
Cheering for your insightful and deeper success, together.
