Struggling a bit last night. Wanting what wasn’t, trying to accept what was, what is.
Attachment, according to Buddha I think, is the basis of all suffering. So difficult to not be attached. To a person in our lives or even to an outcome.
Still a lot of work to do there. Hard to let go of what we want. Seems I think I’ve let go at times but the next day I know I have not.
Someone I care for told me my sign, Aries, can’t hold a grudge more than 24 hrs. I’d say that’s true. Not only for a grudge, but for letting go. That’s about how long I can let go.
Sigh…..

I agree with you on the part that giving up attachment is so difficult or maybe almost impossible. Even I have read about ‘detachment and spirituality’ from the point of Buddha. You won’t be surprised to know that I sought of couldn’t agree with it. I believe that we as humans are bounded to have relations and thus, attachment. Detachment even from a thing is difficult for us. We earn, we eat, we breathe, to live, a healthy life, a happy life and for our closed ones. That’s the truth of our lives. Detaching ourselves from relationships is next to impossible.
Buddha taught detachment to attain spirituality and contentment. Monks are those who can do it, but a human being earning money to survives simply cannot.
With you struggling, I hope you will do fine someday. Stay strong and awesome.
Love.
Oh thank you for your words of encouragement!! So hard so hard…I wrote a blog about a long while ago. I think attachment to outcomes messes us up the most, but attachment to people? Who is not attached to their child, their lover, their family? Thanks so much for stating the obvious. We are humans. We do get attached. Just the way we are.
Absolutely right, ma’am.
Spirituality isn’t just related to God. Love the thing you do or the person, your mum, your children wholeheartedly, that’s enough for a human.
Even I wrote a piece on attachment and purposes in life.
