00:00 You are lonely, so you go and tie a knot with someone who is as lonely as you are and then
00:05 there are mutual expectations which obviously cannot be fulfilled because neither of you
00:10 are capable of fulfilling them.
00:12 When you could not give nice company to yourself, how would you give nice company to the other?
00:17 When you could not tolerate being with yourself, how is the other going to tolerate being with
00:23 you?
00:24 The fellow who strikes a relationship because he is feeling lonely will definitely end up
00:29 frustrated.
00:30 You know the kind of life you have been living.
00:32 You know that you cannot respect yourself.
00:34 That is loneliness.
00:35 When you cannot like yourself, then obviously you have to turn to somebody else.
00:40 That is loneliness.
00:41 But when you are living a life that is rich, full, honest, then you are alright with yourself.
00:47 Now it is not so that you will not have a relationship with the other.
00:51 It is just that now you will not have a dependent or parasitic relationship with the other.
