Attachment And Non-Attachment In Our World

A New Idea I’ve Been Pondering Within A Regenerative Legacy

Anyone who knows me and follows my work knows that I think a lot — Perhaps more than is good for me.

I was reading a couple of different articles today and something struck me.

One article was about a high-profile person in a position of Leadership, and the article made me extremely sad for them.

Someone who was successful from a worldly perspective, but was lost in other ways.

The other was an article that was talking about being wary of the dangers of Attachment and called for Non-Attachment.

I was struck deep at my core around this Idea.

A part of me understands this call to Non-Attachment.

There are problems with certain types of Attachment.

When you are overly Attached to people, it can be hard to move on when they pass away or decide to go in different directions from you.

There is also a problem with being Attached to the point of Helplessness, where you cannot survive without the other person.

As the Psychologists call it, Learned Helplessness.
