“We came alone, we go alone.”

“We came alone, we go alone.”

It’s true from a spiritual point of view. We have to be detached from everything around us. If the statement “we came alone and we go alone” is true, why are we required to even bear the burden of expectations, responsibilities, and duties in so many relationships—mother, child, father, daughter, son, husband, wife, sister, brother, friend, employee, employer, manager, etc.? Why do these relationships even exist if the first statement is true?

I feel, and again reiterate, that this is my opinion alone: “You behave rightly or wrongly, good or bad, responsibly or irresponsibly, sensitively or insensitively, ethically or unethically, integrally or disintegrally only towards these relationships, which in turn define you as a personality. To define yourself, all these relationships are required, not for the sake of the relationships themselves but for yourself. Your being ‘you’ is derived from how you are in relation to all these. Your deeds, thoughts, and actions towards these relationships measure your karma.

If no one were around and we lived in silos, we would live worse than any other beings, probably not even carrying the basic logic required for living beings, with nothing to do, being emotionless, thoughtless, and clueless about anything. And here we are, speaking great wisdom about not being accountable, not impressing, or not being responsible for anyone because we come alone and go alone.
