A simple joke, yet a profound teaching.
In life, most of our suffering doesn’t come from the world itself…
It comes from the attachments we hold inside our own mind.
Attachment to people.
Attachment to outcomes.
Attachment to expectations.
Attachment to how life “should” be.
Buddha taught that attachment is the root of suffering because everything in this world is temporary.
People change.
Situations shift.
Feelings rise and fall.
Even our bodies and our beliefs evolve with time.
When we cling tightly to anything that is always changing, we create pain for ourselves.
✨ Attachment says: “This must stay the way I want.”
✨ Reality says: “Everything will eventually change.”
✨ Suffering happens in between.
Non-attachment doesn’t mean not loving.
It doesn’t mean not caring.
It doesn’t mean distancing yourself from life.
It means loving without trying to control.
Caring without losing yourself.
Holding everything lightly, with awareness and grace.
Because when you let go of attachment, you make space for peace.
For acceptance.
For freedom.
So today, remember this gentle teaching:
Love deeply, but don’t cling.
Give freely, but don’t expect.
Live fully, but don’t hold tightly.
Appreciate everything, but attach to nothing.
When the heart stops grasping,
the soul finally breathes.
