I accept that

I don't think I am attached to the outcome (them becoming aware), but I seem to be attached to the desire to offer help to my parents. But is this "attachment" not the driving force behind the "desire to help" in general? So, is the desire to help someone in itself the problem? Where would this lead us, if it was? To everyone really minding one's own business in all walks of life?
