People. Let me explain. Buddha teaches four Noble Truths.
1. Life means suffering.
2. Attachment is the origin of suffering.
3. It's possible for suffering to cease.
4. How? Follow the Eightfold Path.
In a nutshell, (1) everything is impermanent, and (2) the human mind attaches. That's why we suffer. Our minds attach to things like material possessions, physical beauty, wealth, fame, prestige, friends - and we suffer, because all these things are impermanent. That is, even if we gain them, we will lose them - but because we attach, we experience sadness, grief upon loss.
Even the self is an object of attachment. It is also a delusion, because there is no abiding self. "Self" is just an imagined concept, actually all things are connected and we are merely a part of the endless flux of the universe. Because we can't accept that, death frightens and saddens us.
However, Buddha teaches that it is possible to bring our suffering to an end. This is through the Eightfold Path. As you progress along the path, craving, desires, ignorance, delusions etc will disappear gradually.
The
Eightfold Path has got to do with wisdom, ethical conduct and mental discipline.
What has this got to do with our topic? Well, the topic is detachment. Detachment is the opposite of attachment. Attachment leads to suffering. Detachment, logically, leads to the end of suffering.
Another way to look at it is - don't take anything too seriously. Everything is impermanent. You'll be dead soon anyway - or at least, this life of yours will come to an end sooner or later. So relax. Enjoy yourself. Have fun creating with your thoughts, while you're still around on this plane creating.
As Abraham-Hicks says, "Life is supposed to be fun!"
