Existence

We live our lives. We interact with other people and we experience our selves.
We spend a large portion of our lives in thought. We think mostly about our experiences, about our actions and about how others perceive our actions. Mostly we are trapped in the confines of our thought about how other people perceive us. Our relationships take up a lot of our thought energy.

Even when we are alone by ourselves, we think about relationships and our actions. But when death is near, what really matters. Ultimately it is our own existence that is our fundamental concern. Somehow, we live our lives believing that by maintaining good relationships, we are somehow ensuring our own comfortable existence.

If I can have a comfortable existence without any relationship then what.
Relationships lose their meaning.
Our own existence is always our first concern.
If our existence is threatened, all relationships lose their meaning.

Our own existence is always most valuable.
Existence is the only priority.
If existence is guaranteed, nothing else matters.
Everything else is secondary.

What is it that fundamentally matters?
Living a life of maintaining relationships is a tremendous waste of energy.
Immerse deeply into your own existence.
This alone matters.
