Advocating Detachment
I could and I should but I can't so I won't. Or something like that. Utterly meaningless. Like cold hands on a warm day. Or a butterfly in winter. Or truth and beauty in the human soul. Incompatible. Incongruous. Inconceivable! But I digress.Attachment is blindness and letting go and hoping and believing and trusting. Detachment, on the other hand...anyone who has ever sat in a theater and watched the reality around him/her instead of the idyllic simplification of life on screen can finish that statement. Anyone who has ever stepped into a puddle and laughed instead of cursing can finish that statement. Attachment creates an illusory independence, while detachment creates a nearly tangible one. Attachment is the insidious lie they've fed you from conception, and detachment the tonic they've denied. Why must we slave under the merciless whip-bearing hand of complacency and contentment? Why must we smile as it trods upon us and sneers derisively? Why must we laugh when it tears our hearts to shreds and fills our souls with parasitic hopes? Why, indeed, must we care at all? Forget, and all will be well. Let go, stop dreaming, stop wishing, stop hoping. STOP BEING HUMAN. And watch the tears fade away into peace. Real and complete. And nonexistant.
Okay, I have no idea what I just wrote there...
