This incident opened my eyes to a fact which most of us ignore or just don’t realize.
We get “ATTACHED”
Attachment could be to anything living, non living, dead or alive and there nothing wrong with it. The problem starts when you lose something to which you are attached.
You try your best to get it back, without thinking of any alternative or replacement. You lose yourself and your rational thinking. The more you go in search for it, the more it eludes you…..
It’s like sand in your clenched fist …the harder you try to clench your fist the faster it escapes from between your fingers.....
But do we ever ask ourselves these questions:
“Am I searching for it because I need it, or because I am attached to it???”
“Can’t I look for an alternative and be happy??”
“Was that thing really so good and indispensable that I can’t manage without it???”
I was attached to my data cable. So attached, that the thought of replacing it didn’t cross my mind. I never introspected that “do I really need it?”It was not the need which really mattered; it was the fear of losing it.
Let go of this fear and you will feel free……
By now, you’ll must be wondering why am I so obsessed with this data cable and why am I boring you with this topic….
Try applying the same "ATTACHMENT" principle to human relations and your loved ones……you’ll understand why….
