Love vs Attachment

Think about a person whom you 'love', with whom you don't expect anything in return. 

and then, also think about a person you are 'attached' with, consciously or sub-consciously you expect something in return from that person.

..and REFLECT, what gives you more happiness, 

to Love people/things/situations?

OR to get Attached to people/things/situations?

.

.

This is something that I keep reflecting upon whenever the things doesn't go in a way I want them to go. And most of the time I ended up realizing that I have mixed attachment with love or vice versa. 


In one of her teachings, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo beautifully shared that : 

Attachment says, 'I love you, therefore, I want you to make ME happy.'

and

Genuine Love says, 'I love you, therefore, I want YOU to be happy.'

.

.

Isn't it something worth reflecting?


Happy reflection!! :)
