Acharya Prashant addresses the modern struggle with dependency and insecurity in relationships, arguing that these feelings are not natural but are products of institutional conditioning. He explains that the ego constantly seeks completion and is misled by society, markets, and religion into believing that this fulfillment can be found in another person. Institutions like the judiciary, media, and folklore reinforce the idea that being in a couple is the only valid way to exist, creating an artificial void within the individual that demands constant companionship.
