Connection vs Attachment

Most of us believe that everyone is connected to each other, well, somehow I agree. Yes we are if that means "one’s action affects others in one way or another." Just the way how one song put it… "We are connected to each other in a loop, in a circle that never ends." But then again, we must be careful… that the connection wouldn’t mean being attached to someone or something. There must be no need for dependency.

Connection is different from attachment. Yes, it’s synonymous… almost! And there is only a thin line that separates these two concepts that is why people tend to view these as one or the same rather than two totally different notion. And I know a lot would find the significance of that difference difficult to comprehend…

I wish I can explain more but I am not in a position yet to discuss this concept. I am still in the process of learning or shall I say re-learning. Maybe the reason I post my thought is for me to have a starting point of the re-learning path that I am taking. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion anyway so I will not be surprised if some would challenge my thoughts and/or belief. Well, I haven’t discussed it yet in detail so I guess this post will be safe from criticisms… for now…

More on Existence

Existing in this particular world in this lifetime is not just by being born and having name and fame. Until the time I can live up to my own beliefs and thoughts… and until I can precisely explain and share my ideas, only can I say that I am really existing and growing in this lifetime...
