THE DETACHMENT
It is the most painful and at the same time the highest act of unconditional love...
Detachment hurts, it hurts a lot, it hurts because you have to let go of what you love, let it go or so we think, that pain is mental; It is not pain, it is suffering, what makes us suffer is the fear fed by the ego, by the deep-rooted belief of the possible loss, of a possession that does not exist, that is not real. Since we cannot possess someone who is not ours, who never was and never will be.
Our parents do not belong to us, nor our friends, nor our partner, our children do not even belong to us, they are free and independent beings, with their own way to go, just like us, that is why we must not subjugate the happiness of some to the others.
If you are not happy alone, you will not be with anyone.
Attachment is the controller of all time, the one that anchors you in an absent present. However, detachment keeps you in the here and now, it is letting go of the other knowing that whatever happens
"Everything is perfect."
And yes, that may "hurt us a lot", because until now they only taught us that we were someone if we had possessions of all kinds, they forgot to tell us that the more we possess, the more slaves we become.
That is why I firmly believe that affective independence is the greatest gift you can give yourself and your loved ones, and when you achieve it, then and only then can you shout to the universe that you have finally achieved true and full freedom.
"Once you start moving towards detachment there is no way back."
Detachment is letting go of things easily, knowing that nothing comes out of my life if it is not replaced by something better, and that generates abundance.
