00:00How do you become a boyfriend from a boy?
00:03You are a mere boy and there is a girl sitting next to you.
00:06For this you will have to use the object sitting next to you, the girl.
00:10Once the girl agrees, you find you have graduated to being a boyfriend from just being a boy.
00:17So now you have to use that object next to you.
00:20That object is a conscious being.
00:22That object has some will of her own.
00:26But for you to satisfy your urge to become somebody else, you will have to use her and
00:33objectify her.
00:37And she may not want that.
00:39And then there is conflict.
00:40Whatever you are currently, since that is not sufficient, so you want to become somebody
00:47else.
00:48And the entire process of becoming is a process of conflict.
