Psychoanalysis, Castration and Postmodernity

There seems to be an increase today in the feeling of emptiness, futility, and hopelessness.

Postmodern anonymous individualism, similar to the search for the original state of undifferentiation, appears as an alternative that emerges in a disorderly fashion, in attempts to restore balance, stability and a state of satisfaction.

But it seems that nothing cancels the emptiness and finally, faced with the inability to achieve it, we inexorably arrive at an elevation of anguish, an increase in self-disregard, reaffirming fears, dissatisfactions, deficiencies and emptiness, seeing them then as an insurmountable and devastating castration.

We then plunge into regressive states, of withdrawal into ourselves, of denial, of addictions, of indiscriminate sex, of voracity and the search for power at all costs, in an attempt to deny castration, until death comes.

But what if this weren't the case? Can emptiness be viewed from another perspective? Could it be life instead of death?
