You may have heard about Buddhist teachings with emptiness. Emptiness does not mean nothing exists. Emptiness means nothing has inherent existence. Everything is empty of inherent existence. It means that whatever exists in the world of space and time, exists in a relationship to other things.
Nothing can exist on it s own accord.
That s where insight, wisdom comes from. To personalize the whole thing, we can say even in terms of our emotions, our traumas, our frustrations, our despair, they are all contingent upon situations, varieties of factors. There is not one cause and effect situation happening here. Whatever we experience is dependent upon varieties of factors - causes and conditions. When we begin to see that, we begin to see our emotions, our emotional afflictions in a different light, and that is wisdom, insight.
