Emotions on earth bring pain? What about impersonal love, empathy?

When memories leave they hurt, don't they? What's the point of having something profound with anyone on a personal level when everything will change sooner or later and as memories vaporize from our consciousness they hurt and distract.

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.
