Attachment is not new in our daily lives. It comprises of Love, Position, Power, Money or whatever reason we live in this world but it comes with a certain cost. Whether we realise it or not, we sometimes go a little bit overboard in order to achieve this so called 'Attachment', for ex, some of us are willing to scoundrel people in ensuring of obtaining huge money payouts; to some even willing to play certain public sentiments for Power....These examples are classic examples how far humans are so attached with material needs that may cause harm to themselves even to others without they realising it.

What your takes in this "ATTACHMENT"?

Normally I'll refer it to as document attachments in my email. Not much thought is given to it though.

Yeah same goes for me. XD

My theory on attachment is purely based on psychological, concerning relationships between humans. It could be a romantic relationship between two adults or an attachment whereby two best friends share their deepest darkest secret.

Wikipedia has a perfect explanation on that which I'm sure you've read prior to starting this thread.

yup...its just wanna know how deep our attachment in our daily lives

I spent the past 10 years trying to break free from employment, can I call it an attachment? I also divorced my ex wife from attach to me, so become independent at the age of 21 is the first official cut off from attachment I think.

Breaking away from employment is not because I want to be a business owner but not to be restricted and limited by somebody's standard and getting married is to get attached with someone for love, sex if not making babies, that would mean lots of attachments

Someone who spend too much time online or at LYN is an attachment.

Good view from all. Movie time.

"Fear (of losing someone or something) leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to ..... suffering."

Words of wisdom from Master Yoda to Anakin Skywalker in Jedi Temple.

Anakin was too attached(exaggerated not wanting to be separated) from his loved one, and this attachment holds himself prisoner, eventually changed his destiny by turning himself to the darkside of the force.

The only constant is change. Grasping at things can only yield one of two results: Either the thing you are grasping at disappears, or you yourself disappear. It is only a matter of which occurs first.

The wisdom to counter attachment is to know when to let go.....

Don't Yoda always talk backwards?
It's better to not be attached to something (eventhough we are). But it depends entirely on the person or the kind of attachment, they can either be good or bad.

By being attached to something/someone, it could provide you with comfort etc etc. Think about it
Of course the possibility of it being otherwise is possible but life is about taking chances as well.

Meditate on this, I will
and not
I will meditate on this

The way he constructed a sentence is back to front, however the message remains the same. This is something unique about him.

Do you mean desire less? I would say this is not easy to achieve....probably a small category of monks or priest/father can achieve this.

IMO, there is nothing wrong to aim for achieve something or wish for some products/goods e.g. an Iphone. As long as one works hard for it and not stealing it or ask the unaffordable parent to buy one.

It creates values and it causes pain. The awareness is that it is not permanent and have the ability to evaluate whether it is within our reach, this is my shallow interpretation of attachment.
