Acharya Prashant addresses the observation that well-structured and ordered societies can exist even when individuals are needy. He explains that this order is achieved through a great deal of forceful alignment. To fulfill superficial needs, deeper needs are often curbed. This compromise happens at various levels: to fulfill the needs of a few, the needs of others are compromised; to fulfill the needs of man, the needs of jungles, animals, and ecology are compromised; and to fulfill the needs of one section of society, the demands of another are curbed, negotiated, postponed, or made conditional. This system of compromises gives a semblance of order. The speaker repeatedly mentions order because our needs are so varied, impossible, and contradictory to the needs of others that their complete fulfillment is an impossibility. He calls the idea of harmonious coexistence an "absurd oddity." For instance, if two men need the same woman, or two people need the same building, harmonious coexistence is not possible. Desire escalates need, so one doesn't just want a portion of the building but the entire thing, making sharing feel like a compromise or injustice. Consequently, a society based on needs must have duties and morality as a mechanism to control these conflicting needs. Life becomes a cycle of accelerating, driven by needs, and braking, enforced by duties. Ultimately, the speaker asserts that a society and its relationships, when based on need, are inherently exploitative. One does not truly want the other person but wants something *through* them. The proof is that if you do not get what you want from the other person, you start disliking them. This frustration arises from an absence of love, which in turn stems from an absence of aloneness. Only in aloneness can one have a relationship that is not exploitative, but rather unconditional, stable, and non-intrusive. As long as a relationship is based on need, it will remain one of violence.
