I don't think there is an error thinking there ought to be more. I think we need to find what fills that emptiness. Something that gives life, your life, a sense of purpose and meaning. For me, it's knowing that I chose to come to this planet. It's knowing why I choose to come, what I'm supposed to do while I am here. And when I do what I know is right, I feel the emptiness fill up and I become much more than I could ever alone.

It can be double edged sword, overly focusing on results may lead to postponing life into a theoretical future and forgetting to dance in the now.

Out of curiosity, what other planet(s) would you have chosen if earth had been unavailable?

That's a more poetic way to say "was so busy searching for life's meaning that they forgot to do anything meaningful"

There certainly are constructive responses to it, nothing wrong with that. For me, I'm just a little wary of letting the need take over. I try to reduce the sense of need so that the stuff you're talking about ends up coming from a sense of play, not from need. Like a good analogy would be enjoying every job interview for the conversation because you don't happen to need the job.
