«I JUST READ EVERYTHING»

It was the 17th-century writer Blaise Pascal who said, "Inside of every man there is a God-shaped vacuum that only God can fill." Of course, I happen to believe the French philosopher's premise is correct. That said, if God is not filling an individual's spiritual vacuum, the individual will seek to fill it with something or someone else. Pascal's premise helps to understand why some people are workaholics or obsessed with a hobby. It even might help to explain why some pursue alcohol, drugs or sex with wild abandon. It also helps to grasp how many people fixate on a celebrity as an object of worship.
