Detachment is power ,I always tell .The more emotionally detached one can be ,the better for their mental health.

@Caleidoscope yeah that sounds familiar. tbh I follow it but it doesn't make u emotionally untouchable, we just end up creating our own world to avoid emotional dependency. Every now and then when u end up directing it at someone personally u feel emotions always been there but it can pass quickly yes

@Om2014 that’s the challenge.How to lead a life with people who matter you most yet can’t touch your mentally?
Almost a robotic existence devoid of human emotions

@Caleidoscope but the warmth u feel from moving of heart is something makes this life worth it's while , I get the detachment part though. As your emotional attention shift between people, the hurt takes over during the transition. It can be impersonal love u feel for any random kid u meet. However the attachment takes over as the interaction persists, if only we can control that part. It gets all mixed, comes together like rice with chaff.

Because there's still us, ourselves. The "I".. the one that learns and grows with each personal interaction. We couldn't grow or learn very much without those interactions.
They change us. If we're doing it right, they should be changing us for the better.
We learn a lot. Sometimes it's good items we learn, other times bad.
But in the end, it's all for us - the "I", the "me".

@Magicianzini Thankyou for your words. Do u think emotionally we learn too? Or is it just the mind which gets hardened and seasoned so as to where to open heart n where to back off n be shallow

@Om2014 Ah I believe we grow in all ways. There are also anti-lessons.. such as allowing your mind or heart to get hardened. As difficult as it is, we can't allow that to happen. That often means taking a break after someone's damage and taking the time to heal ourselves.
Remember the goal is to always end up a better person with superior traits afterwards, not the opposite. One can become stoic without become hardened, for example. There are always better choices.
You will want to end up improved (not damaged) as a result from the interaction(s).

@Magicianzini Makes sense.

I refuse to do that. My husband existed, I loved him, and I honor his life by remembering him.
Om2014 · 36-40, M
@Justmeraeagain I respect your feelings.

Live in the current moment.
When they are with you, live that moment. When they are not with you, don't live their absence, don't live the past, live what you have in that moment.

Who is Mr Theft? That spiritual thief. Who leaves us feeling to dead to live and to alive to die.

Then there's no point in living at all, since we'll all die :p
