Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I've come to the point where I know that the voice of emptiness is not actually my own!. My live is full, my heart is happy, and any empty thoughts I have don't come from my heart or soul!. They never did!. There is always a reason to be happy!. If the voice of emptiness tries to drown out my passion, that's when I remind myself of all the wonderful things I have in my life :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't fight it!. I let it take me down into it's depth until I reach the bottom!. Once there, I look around, seeing that the barren chasm isn't as enormous or endless as it first seems!. I grab the rope of purpose that's left hanging over the side, slowly climbing back into the sun!. When I get back out, the chasm usually is nothing more than a minor crack in the sidewalk of Life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hang-gliding!.
Get away from the ground into the outside emptiness up there and suddenly internal emptiness becomes a lot less pressing!.

It's like, balancing pressures or something!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My urge is to answer "I take an aspirin!" !.!.!.but this is Philo!.!.!.!. So,

I take deep breaths and I agree with Dragon!. I lie down and try to really empty my head!. If I succeed, passions take me over!! :))Www@QuestionHome@Com

I write about it in my poetry or fantasize till I either act on it or realize it's best left behind!. Scruples play a part in my decision!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I lie down (knowing that if I'm not sleepy, there's no way I'll be able to remain lying down for very long)!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
