Today I'm going to talk to you about attachments. Thank you for reading.
Certainly some attachments are healthy\u2026
our ties with family and friends,
to the community and customs and charity\u2026
Those are the appropriate accessories, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let's consider that question from a different angle.
Replace the word \u201cattachments\u201d with \u201cclinging.\u201d
That small change exposes the flaw in \u201chealthy\u201d attachments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCertainly a little clinging is healthy, isn\u2019t it?\u201d
No. Whether it's possessions, people, or pride, clinging is not healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every attachment is a bond that restricts our freedom, a controller that restricts our ability to love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We cannot live right now if we are tied to the future, and we cannot love fully when we are confined by attachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have been told, through pop music and poetry,
that to need someone is to love them.
But that was a lie.
That's not love, that's clinging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We experience the full spectrum of love only when we let go.
Let go of the attachment, not the person.
Without attachment, all that remains is love.
