Some realizations

Here are some of the things I've realized:

1. Most of our thoughts are spent in thinking about how 'other people' perceive us
2. The biggest worldly attachement is relationship
3. Inner silence is the greatest treasure

The day you stop caring about other peoples perception of 'you', that day you will find yourself free.
Stop chasing after meaningless relationships.
Be ruthless with what matters.
The man who has no relationship is definitely not the most unfortunate person.
We are terrified of being all alone.
Being completely alone and isolated from people is scary.
Work is more about relationships than activities.

Being fully alone can be a scary experience. We need the presence of other people to acknowledge our own existence. In the absence of 'other people', our sense of who we are starts to dissolve. All we see is the great emptiness that lies at the heart of existence. This creates a profound fear.
