“When you are lonely you start clinging to something which is not for real, which is just a temporary arrangement – a relationship a friendship. And while you are in the relationship you create a little illusion to forget your loneliness. You can create illusions all you want but they are not going to help. When you are content with yourself you start sharing, there is no question of clinging. You flow with existence, you flow with life’s change. It is not a contract, it is not a marriage. It is simply out of your fullness that you want to give, so whosoever happens to be nearer to you, you give it. It does not mean that a human being who is centered in his aloneness, complete in himself, cannot make friends. In fact only he can make friends, because now it is no longer a need, it is just sharing. He has too much; he can share. You can love a person, and if the person loves somebody else there will not be any jealousy, because you loved out of too much joy. It was not a clinging. You were not holding the other person in prison. You were not worried that the other person may slip out of your hands. When you are sharing your joy, you don’t create a prison for anybody. You simply give and do not worry about tomorrow because you are whole; there is no need of anybody else to complete you.” — Osho
