Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whose feelings to prioritize in a relationship by stating that neither one's own feelings nor the other person's feelings are important. What is crucial is to recognize and understand what is truly happening. He explains that feelings are just feelings, arising from the primitive conditioning of the body. They are deceptive, will never reveal their real source, and are essentially animalistic reactions and reflexes. To illustrate his point, he gives an example of a husband and wife with conflicting desires. The wife wants to go out for dinner, possibly as a pretext to shop, while the husband wants to stay in, fearing that a late night out will leave his wife too tired for intimacy. Both are driven by their unexamined feelings, and neither truly understands their own motivations, let alone the other's. The speaker questions whose feelings should be honored in such a situation, highlighting that people are often unaware of the real source of their own feelings, mistaking them for simple tiredness or boredom. He advises that before one can understand how others think and feel, one must first understand their own thoughts and feelings. The question of whose feelings to prioritize is preliminary if one does not even know where their own feelings come from. He emphasizes the need to ask oneself, "Why am I feeling what I am feeling?" This inquiry is the path to self-awareness. The speaker clarifies that he is not talking about killing feelings but about purifying them through self-knowledge. When you start knowing where your feelings come from, the very center of those feelings gets changed. Acharya Prashant criticizes the popular notion of love where partners "share their feelings," which he describes as dumping one's filth and garbage on the other. He uses stark analogies like "flush and fart" and "sobs for sex" to describe this unhealthy emotional exchange. He asserts that a toxic relationship is one where a person is used as a "dump yard" for their partner's negativity. In a healthy relationship, one should give their best to the other, not their "crap." Before sharing something, one should ask if it is worthy of being shared and if it will genuinely help the other person.
