00:00 Of course, nobody knows love.
00:02 Just as you are violent towards everybody, you are violent towards the object of your attraction also.
00:08 I want to capture, I want to secure.
00:10 I want to secure grades, I want to secure money, I want to secure respectability, I want to secure a future.
00:16 What will you do when you have a boyfriend?
00:18 You will want to secure the boyfriend as well.
00:21 And what will you do in order to secure that boyfriend?
00:24 You will say, "Don't look at anybody else."
00:28 And you will fight with him, you will quarrel with him.
00:30 And there will be a great heartburn if you find him talking even to an 80-year-old woman.
00:36 Because it's the same mind.
00:39 The same mind that is possessive towards everything else in life.
00:44 Possessive towards clothes, possessive towards food, possessive towards this and that and wants to secure everything.
00:51 This same mind will want to secure and possess the boyfriend as well.
00:55 And life will be hell.
