Hollowness may point towards ineffectiveness; unsuccessful; fruitlessness; worthlessness. But it also means 'opportunity'.

Hollowness has the ability to receive fresh insight, wisdom, or love.
In positive aspect hollowness causes detachment from materialism or ego allowing mental clarity, calmness, and emotional lightness - essential for spiritual and creative depth.
In the vast silence of the cosmos, it is the hollowness - the sacred emptiness - that gives birth to the music of life. Just as a flute sings only because it is hollow, the universe resonates with creation because of the voids it holds within. This hollowness is not absence, but potential - a womb of infinite possibilities.
