Acharya Prashant addresses the psychological dependency on the presence of the opposite gender, explaining that such needs are often rooted in social conditioning and mental imagery rather than actual necessity. He describes how society inflames desires through media and stories while simultaneously imposing a hypocritical layer of morality. This conflict creates internal pressure, leading individuals to mask their basic desires with terms like 'companionship' or 'soulmate'. He asserts that if one truly needs nothing from another, a mere physical substitute like a scarecrow should suffice; however, the persistent desire for a human presence indicates hidden expectations or fears planted by societal narratives.
