Transcript

00:00Relationship is healthy when you are not with the other to consume the other.

00:06When your objective is not really to extract something from the other.

00:10When you are with the other for the other's welfare and the other is with you for your welfare.

00:16The two of you are not looking for some kind of exploitation of each other.

00:23Even if it is exploitation, mutual exploitation with consent.

00:26Even if it looks more like a trade-off rather than exploitation.

00:29Still, it is unhealthy.

00:31So have good relationships.

00:33Any person, male or female, is worth far more than the body.

00:39If the body remains and that person is worth nothing more,

00:44you will very soon find that you don't want to have much to do with that person.

00:48So go for intelligence, go for innocence,

00:52go for qualities in a person that make him lovable and admirable.
