Belongingness can bring about a host of negative emotions like demand, jealousy, unawareness and lack of gratitude. Just look into your own life, you feel more grateful to strangers than the people who “belong” to you.
This is the biggest problem in relationships. People are nice to strangers and give more attention to them.
With a sense of belongingness comes carefreeness and lack of attention.
- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji
