We want to run away from our loneliness, with its panicky fears, so we depend on another, we enrich ourselves with companionship. We are the prime movers, and other become pawns in our game; and when the pawn turns and demands something in return, we are shocked and grieved. Our energies must be directed, not merely to the understanding of the outward pressures and demands for which we are responsible, but to the comprehension of ourselves, of our loneliness, our fears, demands, and frailties. It is now that one has to become aware of the set and peculiar habits of thought-feeling, and by understanding them make away with them. J. Krishnamurti, The Book of Life
