00:00So while reading your book, I saw a quote, it says, hurt is the opportunity to see where you
00:06are still deluded and dependent. So can you please explain me something more about this?
00:12What gets hurt when you say you got hurt? Is it that you are bleeding from the shoulder
00:18or you have a broken nose? Expectations, right? So you expect that this is containing something
00:27or that this is white. But this was never white. It hasn't changed colors. This was always
00:37black. But you have some desire for some reason for white. And desire makes you optimist.
00:47So even as I said, you know, I have a mug with me. Guess the color. And immediately she said,
00:55white. But this was always black. It didn't cheat. It didn't deceive. Why did you expect
01:04it to be white? Now whose fault is it? Desire made you blind. So you raised expectations that could
01:12anyway never have been fulfilled. And when those expectations are belied, then you blame the other
01:20one object, right? I have expectations. So I want you to behave the way I like. The question is,
01:27is he even capable of behaving the way you like? You got hurt because you were wallowing in dreams.
01:38You were rolling in fluff. You said when you are hurt, figure out what is it that you are sharing
01:44with others. Most probably, it is a story of your victimization. That's what you love to share
01:53after each episode of hurt.
