Acharya Prashant explains that society dictates our preferences and choices, often through long-term conditioning and historical factors like colonization. He uses the example of the obsession with fair skin in India to illustrate how individuals are mentally enslaved by societal standards. When two people meet, it is often not a meeting of individuals but a meeting of two crowds consisting of family members and societal influences. He asserts that what we call ourselves is merely a collection of external voices, including parents and relatives, which persists even in personal moments. This lack of individuality is the root cause of our fear of society, as we are not truly ourselves but a reflection of the collective. Acharya Prashant challenges the notion of being 'normal,' citing J. Krishnamurti to argue that being well-adjusted to a sick society is no measure of health. He suggests that true fearlessness arises only when one acts out of their own understanding and free will, independent of social corruption and influence. When an action is entirely one's own and not performed for the sake of others, the thought of society and the accompanying fear naturally disappear.
