00:00Why do you relate to someone or why do people relate to someone?
00:02Because you think you will get something. As simple as that, right?
00:05If you get what you want, you are done. The relationship is exhausted.
00:09You go to a snacks bar. How long can you stay there?
00:13Will you build your home there? There is the hot dog.
00:15The hot dog is quite tempting. You take the hot dog and then you walk out.
00:19And that's how you walk out of a relationship.
00:21The hot dog has been ingested. The hot dog is in the stomach now.
00:24What will you do? Standing there anymore?
00:27You can return some other day for some other hot dog or burger maybe this time.
00:31When the entire philosophy of life is centered on consumption,
00:36I exist to feed and fatten myself. And by doing that, I'll be happy.
00:40Then what will you remain with some human being for?
00:44If you are with anything and everything just for the sake of fattening yourself,
00:49consuming, which is exploitation in a way.
00:51Then even with human beings, you will remain only to consume them, right?
00:56And we get bored because other things are available to be consumed.
