Whether one can really transform oneself from this childish state to a mature state,

This civilization is deeply conditioned to the egoism.

People grew up being influenced and educated to only care about themselves,

So the mind has lost this sense of care as a human being.

Is it possible for one to have that care back?

In the very caring,

The self is not.

That's why it needs one's diligence to take sheer action,

To change,

To do it,

To break away from this self-centered loop.

It also means that one must stand alone in this world.

The very standing alone requires tremendous observation and diligence,

Else the mind is still being lazy,

Conforming,

Imitating,

And this disorder of this world is still existing in yourself.

Can one really empty the mind so the mind can really stand alone?

Means that there's nobody in the mind.

It's really empty,

Nothing about you.

And only such a mind where the consciousness can empty itself is capable of caring and loving.

And only such a mind that is really empty without those thoughts,

Images,

Views is a fresh mind.

And such a mind which is fresh is never isolated.

Therefore,

It has no desire to socialize,

To look for trash can.

And only such a mind can love,

Can care.

And such a mind never lacks friends,

Relationships.

Or else the mind which is a fool,

Which is secondhand because all kinds of inferences,

Always said I have a friend,

This is my friend,

That is my friend,

To deceive myself.

In that mind,

Having friends become a new measurement to compare,

To show off,

Which only shows that one has no friends at all,

Because the mind only cares about oneself.
