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?
