Just like in life, some people like to say they're "going with the flow" which sounds like detachment, but I'm often suspicious.

Nietsche is quoted as having said:
A man's maturity consists in having found again the seriousness one had as a child, at play. (and at that time children played with each other selfmades roleplays)
You can be very seriously play something without being attached to an outcome.
Go is a game that rewards non attached to your stones or positions. A Go game can end in a lot of different ways.
If someone has only one outcome in mind for a situation he loses the flexibilty and gets less effective.
I think a lot about life is similar. If you have invested in a venture and it fails, it sometimes is better to quit that venture instead of pumping more money into it. Nonattachment to particular outcomes of ventures allows for that.
