[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 716731, member: 13542"] I just read the following quote and thought it fitting for those of us engaged in detachment. I have found this to be the truth.... not easy to attain, however, remarkably liberating. "[I]Detachment, also expressed as non-attachment, is a state in which you overcome your attachment to the desire for things, people or concepts of the world, thus attaining a heightened perspective. The detached person is the happiest, for to live without attachment is to live in true freedom. It is important to note, however, that the Buddhist principle of detachment does not mean that you no longer care for things or people but rather that you separate your own existence from them in such a way that means you can still care about them but that you are not dictated or defined by their existence."[/I] [/QUOTE]
