Let’s look at it in simple terms first as child we believe things to be real (as a matter of fact we must learn to maneuver the physicality of this material world )we learn the matter of this physical world as real and tangible elements that construct our belief and experience. However as one develops physical cognitions and mental one eventually learns that such experiences or views one held at childhood might not be true or real. But to deny a child development of such cognitions would detrimentally withhold growth and inflict mental imbalance. First we learn about this world as real then we must overcome its in between the lines lessons. So emptiness is not for all and it depends on persons developmental stage were they are at. Shunyata is not one set of form of thought . Society at large sufferers emotional imbalance i am not sure if emptiness applies to such states of human being. Shunyata requires a well developed ground first most are not grounded.
