When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognize and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present.

Dalai LamaReality is devoid of any intrinsic identity that can be captured by any one single proposition - that is what Buddha meant by "voidness."
