Attachment and Suffering
Today I was pondering the great ol teachings of the Buddha and how the topic of attachment has been playing in my life.
When it come to society, we are taught that more is better, less means you are unworthy and to have more you must burnout or sacrifice your needs to please someone elses. As I have been coming back into my presence with myself, I realize more and more the simplicity of this all and how the “clinging to outcomes” “Impermanence” has been playing a profund role. I am human of course.
When I tied all this to presence, balance, and happiness, it all makes so much sense.
It’s of course ok to have goals, dreams and love, just dont be attached to the actual outcome of it.
Where I see a lot of people running into their own suffering and including my own in the past was when it came to change.
We all have these ideas that change is the DOOOOOM of life, especially if your a social media addict, but how can I embrace that change is a thing when I had yet to deal with repressed anger. I noticed in my past that I was afraid to change because that actually equated “DEAAAATH” grief, if you will. Which is understandable especially if you are afraid of death, which most are. This makes you feel EMOTIONS boooooo,
Have we steered that far away in life to avoid emotions at all cost and not know our true inner voice? with screens and suffering being the root of suffering at its best, how does one, does one even want to releive his suffering from the karmic wheel. What if were already are free of this suffering, werre born free of it until we get older and realize, that the suffering was taught, it was societaly acceptable to suffer, and even be rewarded for how much you suffered.
I am not saying dont take charge of your life, I am saying, what if your karma was actually already served, completed and purified like 10 years ago, but your definition of worthiness kept you in the “suffering loop” instead of realizing, “hey bud, you have been free for a long time”
the corellation of “mind-reading” is actually a fear of rejection loop that many peiple have turned into spiritual business, not gonna lie, I catch myself sometimes as well.
What if that were to be released? what if mind-reading was the key to most people’s “attachment and suffering”
Hi, I know that is not my karma , this requires self-ownership and responsiblity for your emotions and all that good stuff.
How would we bring non attachment into the workplace? what if we stood in our worthiness and allowed everyone to be themselves without judgment, without criticism but with an open hand and a heart?
