Acharya Prashant explains that society forcefully conditions individuals to believe that the primary purpose of life is to find a partner and settle down. This ideal is ingrained from a very early age, leading people to prioritize romance over noble causes, liberation, knowledge, or exploration. He notes that the fear of being alone is not biological or natural, as animals do not form permanent welded relationships; instead, this fear is a social construct fueled by mass media and entertainment that constantly glorifies romantic partnerships. This cultural pressure makes it nearly impossible for individuals to imagine a life that is not tied to another person. He clarifies that walking alone does not necessarily mean the absence of a relationship, but rather being free from the compulsion to be in one. Most people enter relationships out of social pressure rather than freedom, which leads to suffering and the prevalence of husband-wife jokes as a coping mechanism for a difficult situation. Acharya Prashant highlights how this institution often leads to the tolerance of abuse and humiliation, particularly for women who feel powerless to survive alone. He urges individuals to question who scripted this destiny for them and why they choose to remain in exploitative situations instead of exercising their choice and freedom.
