What is attachment? Okay, I do not play long in the definition. I give an illustration only.

DO NOT DO, ENOUGH TO BE IMMEDIATELY !.

Here, for example you take two pieces of cloth each size 2 cm x 3 cm. Stick one cloth with a plain paper glue on your right calf. Let it dry out in there. Then, stick also the second cloth on your left calf with super strong glue. Let it dry out in there. After a while you remove the taped fabric by using ordinary glue. What do you think it feels like? Then after that try to remove the cloth that you paste with super strong glue. What do you think it feels like? I'm sure releasing a cloth taped with a super strong glue will be painful and miserable.

Remember once again, that illustration is not for doing. Just imagine it!

Attachment is that we "attach" something to ourselves or vice versa. Well the degree of clinging is of course different. Some are attached with weakness, and even some very strong.

Then what to do with life issues? In life we ​​put a lot of things to ourselves either in conscious or unconscious. Well bother if we unconsciously put something very strong to ourselves. What's the result? suffering life. The more attached, the more suffering!

I cite myself. I used to (around 2003) really love a woman. And he I "put" very strong in my mind. I experienced a very acute attachment with him. Until a time my seriousness to be able to marry him is not achieved. In fact, he married someone else without my knowledge. And I was in great shock. Like a cloth that is glued very strongly to my calves and then loose in an uncomfortable way so that my skin is peeling and bleeding. Especially when I was a lot of problems of good life financially, relationships with family, lectures and so forth. And I almost ended my life. Gratefully I am still allowed to live to this day.

The trait when we experience attachment is when we feel that something is already a part of us. So when the loss of something it seemed to lose parts of our bodies. We also unconsciously defied it. Want to keep something there, never to break and we have forever.

Well now let's evaluate, what have we treated like that? Try giving a 0-10 scale to measure how far you are attached to it. The value 0 is not at all attached and the value 10 is very attached once. The more things you attach to yourself the more things that can make you suffer a moment.

Why?
For something other than the eternal God, it will be destroyed. Husband, wife, money, house, car, motorbike are all not eternal. You are also not eternal and will disappear even though money, cars, houses, wives, husbands and so on are still there. Anyone who hopes for something that is not eternal be prepared to be disappointed. I am very concerned about some love-themed songs that indirectly teach attachment to beings.

The poem is more or less like this: "You are my blood, you are my pulse, you are my heart, you are my breath ... you are my life, also my death".

Though the subject is not God is eternal. You can already guess what will happen if the lover goes? It will surely suffer greatly because he is already very attached to his lover. Yes, it could be suicide like I am. And have not you heard or seen information from the media about suicide cases because of a broken heart? That is the phenomenon of attachment.

Let's learn from the parking attendant who realizes that everything is only temporary. The parking attendant was a lot of vehicles but not arrogant and when picked up one-on-one his vehicle, he did not feel lost. Why? because only those who feel they have the loss.

Realize that everything in this world is only an inventory of a divine God. We are not really owners, we just feel possessed. Is not our body just a deposit? Let's reflect on friends

Wow, it means it should not stick? It's okay, just stick with it appropriately. Excessive attachment is the same as ours. Attach to the eternal God, the place where all beings depend.
