Acharya Prashant explains that relationship is not a choice but an inherent part of being alive, as we are constantly relating to our surroundings, people, and objects. The critical question is not whether to relate, but the quality and source of that relationship. Most people relate from a sense of incompleteness, seeking to find their missing half in the world. This leads to a cycle of psychological dependence, exploitation, and attachment, where 'love' is often just a synonym for needing someone to fulfill a personal void. In such states, one's desperation prevents the other from attaining their own liberation.
