I would tell you

Play the hand you've dealt,

just get your card of knowledge

If that's what's worrying you

We had names for the corresponding faces

Sad, angry, hurt, 

but no words for our operative feelings

indulgence

was equal to expertise

experience was that 

we called them 

as we saw them

but it doesn't mean we were right...

just all too full of ourselves and 

not nearly enough of someone else

nothing truly of what really mattered.

If we ever claw our way through this void

I would tell you that

what truly mattered 

was...

oh, AMEN!
Thinking only of ourselves, that is the problem....what truly matters is what we give, not what we take.
And the more we draw the knowledge card, the more we learn that, even if we do leave the table, broke.
masterful metaphor here, Corset.

Good Morning Jacob, thank you for your kind words.

The existential quandary seems to be stirring us towards finding the right question to ask. I have heard a few people mention this in the last few days, Elon Musk among them. Something in the water. A great philosophical write here, Corset:)
