Thoughts on “attachment”??

As I’m meeting so many people lately who are usually gone from my life within a short period, I’m noticing a trend. Everyone keeps talking about not forming attachments. As if it’s some spiritual endeavor to not get close to others. I think it’s a cop out. I think people can’t form emotional bonds because they won’t deal with their feelings. I understand it’s hard to be a giver, I struggle with that big time. But humans aren’t built to do everything alone. It’s proven that we die early without connections and support.

In this age of needing to connect so desperately, why are we trying to convince ourselves that loving someone unconditionally is the prison? Love is the key, not the cage. Love can be healthy.

I just really don’t understand anymore 😆

@Justenjoyit why are feelings shit?

@RebelFox Well people are just guarded and dont want to let go, because feelings can get hurt and cause lots of pain and anguish.

@Justenjoyit but then you never fully experience life…

@RebelFox Maybe not but then the flip side to things if something went wrong you could be suffering for the rest of your life.

@Justenjoyit Suffering is part of life and learning. If you live in fear of feelings you’re stifling your own growth. You’re living a half life anyway. I’d rather dance in the flames, dream, dare and be let down than to pretend it’s somehow better to be dishonest to my true nature.
