If I'm insecure and I'm two hundred and fifty pounds and I'm five foot five, then I will go to a grand buffet and eat everything on it and still say, "I'm hungry.
If someone tells me, "I love you, I love you, I love you," every day, a hundred times a day, hold on a second, you don't love me, and I'm feeling very agitated right now because the last hour you didn't tell me again.
And how does knowledge, how does wisdom impact you? If nothing makes sense, you just use it and abuse it.

The only relationship you should have is one you do not need, because when you don't need it, you have a relationship with yourself.
