No, we can’t achieve emptiness in the world because we all have biases and prejudices that are self defeating with selfish egos; however, in our microcosms (small circles of reality typically in physical interaction) of influence-yes. Emptiness is one of the Five Rings from Miyamoto Musashi, the only undefeated Samurai in (60 duels…1584-1645) with THE profound book. It’s the shortest chapter in the book and the hardest to attain. I actually have the 5 rings tattooed on my arms in color with intent for focus on daily emptiness and it’s a lot of work. Similar in kind of current popularity “be like water my friend”, Bruce Lee and in his daughter’s book by Shannon Lee.
