You should consider an interdependent relationship rather than a dependent. Unfortunately, I do not think you can "aim" for an interdependent relationship. If you are searching for a relationship, then you are implicitly making that future 'other' responsible for your happiness. If you do that, then...

It is my experience, and my belief. Not sure what the point of this is. If you want to have belief, then you have to have disbelief too. They are two sides of the same coin. Your believe actually exists to cover up the element of disbelief you have. You belief is there to cover up the doubt you hav...

I mean..who is the one who wants to be awakened? Who is that which wants to break free from the suffering caused by the ego and wants to be feeling at ease, at peace, happy.
