detachment

how much ever i read of philosophy, the one which strikes out is the concept of detachment...how can one not remain detached? if you have to remain detached, tat means u have to conscious of each and every minute to remind urself tat yes, i shudnt get attached...which in turn means tat you are nt being urself..u r nt giving 100% towards doing the work...its a vicious circle...the more you remind urself, the more u think about the idea, the more you think abt the idea, the more attached you become, the more attached you become, the more sad you will be once it fails, this sadness will make you go back to the concept of detachment and make urself promise that it wont happen again...and it starts all over again...

U just echoed my mind.. Detachment is not so easy.. All they say about detachment is crap... Even a sanyasi is attached to his thoughts... and no one can ever be detached with everthing in this damn fuckin world....

So lets be attached with everyone, accept the pain as part and parcel of life and move on instead of trying something that is theoritically possible but practically impossible...

Just my thoughts..
