\u201c<\/strong>The detachment of a stone is not that of a human.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Having the ability to show some detachment now and then is a good virtue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At least:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018Detachment\u2019 IS, quite simply, the opposite of \u2018attachment.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attachment is done with glue.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You attach yourself to something, e.g., to your emotional reactions. You end up in a trigger situation, and before you know it: pats, it comes up again. You don\u2019t want it, however. You imagine it won\u2019t happen again next time… and then again: pats. That anger. That fear. That frustration or those feelings of upheaval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How the hell do you put an end to that?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer to this question: not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or what did you think? Feelings\/emotions are determined by your deeper self. You can temporarily suppress them in some cases, but don\u2019t think that you can achieve the desired result in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Autosuggestion is also welcome here. As always, don\u2019t force the goal. You need to invite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The world of meditation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here too, detachment is often spoken of and not always in a sense as just discussed. Meditation, used in an attempt to gain dualistic ego control: a total contradiction, yet one encounters it, sometimes with bad consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c<\/strong>Equanimity is the most beautiful home for all human feelings.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can be detached from all kinds of things (possession, status), but in any beautiful case, it comes down to a detachment of rather superficial feelings and thoughts so that other (\u2018deeper\u2019) feelings and thoughts get more opportunities. I see in this the only real reason to attach any value to detachment.
