    The document discusses how the mind feels absence more than presence and how this tendency leads to desiring and makes true solitude impossible. It states that if one cannot be alone even in a crowd, the crowd will still be there when truly alone, crowding the mind even more. It also notes that absence is what allows for desiring and that if one could forget absences, desire would be impossible.

    1. The mind has the tendency to feel absence more than presence.

    If you cannot be alone in the crowd, you can never be alone anywhere,
    because the capacity to be alone in the crowd is needed to be alone when you are really alone;
    otherwise, if you cannot be alone in the crowd , the crowd will be there when you are alone.
    The mind will be crowded even more, because the mind has a tendency to feel absence more
    than presence.

    2. Because through absence is desiring.


    Mind is just desiring. Mind feel absence more; otherwise there can be no desiring.

    3. If you can forget absences, then desire is impossible
