The Distinction (Difference) Between Love And Attachment
Attachment is a mental state. It is a relationship we have with someone in our own minds. When we become attached to someone we use their image to fill our mind. We find our thoughts are constantly filled with their image and the memories of their behavior. It is not that we should never think about others, it is more about thinking about others only when it is necessary, and as we do so, to make sure we don’t lose our self in their image. This will finally free us of dependency. Symptoms of attachment, can be found when there is any personal desire or expectation of the other person. Desire causes the change of the energy of our love into fear. We forget we are already a source of what we have been taught to need and desire. Attachment desires, love never desires and it has no expectations. It doesn’t need to! As soon as you have any desire from others, or expectations of others, and your happiness becomes dependent on the desire or expectation being met, you are already giving birth to fear and anger, otherwise known as negative emotions, otherwise known as stress, otherwise known as suffering. Love never causes pain, attachment does.
