We are forcefully made to believe that the purpose of life is to chase a man or a woman
00:08
and the highest possible ideal is to spend time or life with some nice and right person.
00:15
Right?
00:16
That is what you also call as settling down.
00:18
Now that ideal is ingrained in our minds from a very very early age and it refuses to leave
00:25
us even after we turn 80 or 90.
00:29
What is life for?
00:30
Life is not for a noble cause.
00:32
Life is not for liberation.
00:34
Life is not for knowledge.
00:36
Life is not for exploration.
00:38
Life is so that you can have somebody's hand in your hand.
00:42
Life is for romance.
00:43
Right?
00:44
It becomes impossible for us to even imagine a life that is not welded to somebody else's.
00:54
What else is welding?
00:55
Welding.
00:56
That's why so much fire is there.
