Vannakkam: Detachment is just so empowering. Take winning and losing, for example. In athletics, (think cricket, Indians, think hockey, Canadians) in arguments (here on HDF, or elsewhere) in purchasing, in lifestyle, traveling, eating, all the mundane stuff of life, in friendships, relationships, and so much more. Detachment equals joy. The Dalai Lama says that in competition, the only winners are the losers.
Athlete's lives have been threatened by fans because they didn't play well. Can you imagine?
Here on HDF people have left in anger because they lost an argument? If they would have been detached to the results of the 'argument' they'd still be around.
More thoughts.
So what is the root cause of attachment?
