The Importance of Relationships: 2

A person may find herself desiring a particular taste. Perhaps she wants something very spicy or very sweet. She won't be satisfied eating something with a mild taste because she is seeking something that will touch her essence. All the wonderfully tasting foods in the world will be unappetizing to her as she has a specific need which needs to be filled.
Similarly, a person with a deep mind will not find himself satisfied by engaging in gossipy conversation. He is seeking something which touches his essential self and only a wise insight will satisfy his needs. As a result, hanging around with people who engage in idle chatter does not help him to exit a feeling of loneliness; even if he is engaged in the conversation he is still not in his own element.
It is for this reason that you will find people who seem to be always seeking an escape. They are perpetually unsatisfied with pursuits that are not engaging their souls. Unable to be released from their feeling of being alone, they search tirelessly until they can find what is their's.
