Acharya Prashant explains that loneliness and dependency are not separate issues but stem from a fundamental sense of incompleteness inherent in the human condition. He asserts that every human is born with a deep-seated belief that something is wrong or missing, which drives them to acquire knowledge, wealth, and relationships in a desperate attempt at rectification. This sense of imperfection is both biological, due to physical limitations, and social, due to identities like nationality or gender. He argues that loneliness is an existential problem that persists throughout life unless one chooses to live beyond the ego.
