Acharya Prashant addresses a young man who is unable to focus on his civil services exam preparation due to a breakup. The speaker states that the problem is not about love, emotions, or failure in competitive exams, but is a deeper issue rooted in societal and familial structures. He explains that the age which should be spent doing the highest work, accepting challenges, and giving form and beauty to life's image, is being wasted knocking on the doors of coaching centers for government jobs. This pursuit of government jobs, along with the games of boys and girls, consumes the precious time of the youth. When time is given to one thing, it cannot be given to another. Acharya Prashant points out that no one would waste five years of their youth if there weren't people behind them, feeding them while they sit. This situation is particularly common for boys, who are told to sit and study while their families provide for all their needs, from morning parathas to ghee-laden rotis at night. This system gives them a license to be idle for years. The speaker highlights the stark reality that 99.99% of people who appear for these exams are bound to fail, a fact known to everyone beforehand. The probability is very high that the boy will not be selected. This entire setup becomes a game where the result comes once a year, and failure provides a license to relax for another year. He asserts that this is not a matter of love or emotions but is a direct consequence of parents being ready to support their sons sitting at home. He speaks in harsh words for the benefit of the questioner. The speaker clarifies that the games of boys and girls are a result of having too much time and no meaningful purpose. He explains that if one is engaged in a meaningful goal, there is no time for such distractions. The games of love are hormonal, not true love. The speaker concludes that the entire system, from the obsession with government jobs to the enabling family structure, is designed to waste the youth of the country.
