Q: What do we mean by relationship?

Relationship is one of the most important things in life. Relationship between me and another, with many others, which creates society.

In my relationship with another there is tension, a sense of division, guilt, possession, protection or responsibility. Apparently there has been, from time immemorial, conflict between you and me.

Pain, attachment, jealousy, fear, and also sexual pleasure - the whole of that is implied in daily relationship. Why do we accept it?

Why are we hurt? Do you have an idea about yourself which can be hurt? Why do you have images about yourself or conclusions about something?

Do we actually want to find a way of living in which there is no possibility of being hurt?
