Detachment

Objectiveness.

Be apart from. Not bound to something.

As humans, we have thousands of thoughts racing through our minds daily.

To add to our thoughts, we have emotions, feelings.

Essentially, life is a collectiveness of sights, sounds, sensations, and events.

However, many of us, myself included, cling to and identify with these thoughts, emotions, feelings, sights, sounds, sensations, events.

But, what are thoughts, emotions, feelings, sights, sounds, sensations, events?

Simply that – mere illusions. Things that our outside ourselves.

If we simply learn to detach from these “things” we will come to realize they don’t mean anything.

What is the goal of every human being?

You may say we all have different goals and you would be right, but at the very top of that long goal list there may be things like peace, love, happiness, joy, freedom, etc.

How do achieve this?

Well, not by clinging and identifying to things that’s for sure.

You have “potential” to achieve this through simply letting go and not staking your existence or life”s significance on any moment or momentary thought, emotion, feeling, sensation, sight, sound, sensations, or event.

You detach.

You are you.

Even controversially you are not you. You are the you that watches you.

Want to find peace?

Detach.

Want to find love?

Detach.

Want to find happiness?

Detach.

Want to find joy?

Detach.

Want to find freedom?

Detach.

Detach. Detach. Detach.

Now, does that mean apathy or just not caring about anything?

If that’s what you feel is what will work for you or help you find what you are looking for then go for it.

However, for me, it means to experience all of life’s magical gifts of thoughts, emotions, feelings, sights, sounds, sensations, events. But don’t cling to them.

Just live in the present moment. Engage and bask in the vastness of that moment and all of life’s gifts.

But if it does not serve you, just let it go, detach.
