I open my fridge door and what do I see? A half empty bottle of beer, relishes, old vegetables and water. I close the door. My groaning stomach persuades me to open the door once more. Like an alter ego, I obey it's commands. I'm sure this time, there will be food, food that was invisible just a second ago. Food that I will see, if I look hard enough. I grab the chilled silver handle and give it a pull. Wide open swings the door to reveal food galore!-- Oh wait, there's no food, not even a decent beverage. There's still just a whole load of nothingness and hunger. A deep dark depression cuts me like a knife through butter. no food here, no food there, nothingness all around just starvation and suffering. I close the fridge. The cycle repeats itself. Such is life.

Empty Fridge
I open my fridge door and what do I see? A half empty bottle of beer, relishes, old vegetables and water. I close the door. My groaning stomach persuades me to open the door once more. Like an alter ego, I obey it's commands. I'm sure this time, there will be food, food that was invisible just a second ago. Food that I will see, if I look hard enough. I grab the chilled silver handle and give it a pull. Wide open swings the door to reveal food galore!-- Oh wait, there's no food, not even a decent beverage. There's still just a whole load of nothingness and hunger. A deep dark depression cuts me like a knife through butter. no food here, no food there, nothingness all around just starvation and suffering. I close the fridge. The cycle repeats itself. Such is life.
Hunger and fullness are true emotions, just like love and life it can depress you or fill you.
