Dumb question...

What's wrong with being attached to the world?

If the world is illusion, then to be attached to it would be delusion, of course. Then it would make sense to concentrate on staying unattached, and to be very careful to curb desire by limiting exposure to desirable experiences.

But what if the world is a unique creative expression of reality? Then it would make sense to be moved by it, to love its people, desire good things from it and for it... Perhaps the more lovingly and profoundly you could be 'attached', the better?
