The attachment

The attachment of something means to get tied of that something.

If we deeply realize that this link, this attachment of an object, of a human being or creature, of a phenomenon is not and it can’t be anything more than a temporary state which sooner or later is about to destroy itself, (and then we attach of other objects, beings, states) in the moment of breaking the link we won’t be surprised and we’ll accept it as it is (especially if it is impossible to be restored –a being dies, some objects burn, some states are created by some unique circumstances which will never happen again, etc.).

So we’ll realize this change of the system’s condition and we’ll adapt to it immediately without any supplementary commentaries (of sadness, of anger, etc.) which anyway are useful to nothing else but to the prolong of our suffering, of our period of adaptation at the new conditions and restoring of the system’s harmony more or less destroyed by that change.

If we have in the psyche some wrong judgments like the permanent attachments, I mean if we expect- obviously in a groundless way- as a link with an object, being or state to last forever, it’s clear that the signal of psychical suffering will immediately appear in us, indicating the presence of a wrong judgment.

The false expectation which characterizes the permanent attachments is that previously mentioned and it’s obvious that it’s an expectation which will never be fulfilled: all the links or the connections in the creation are only temporary.

This is the condition of any systems existence: as its elements to be able to move freely and to perform actions specific to the system they belong to at a given moment.

We don’t have to meditate too deeply to see that the permanent attachment of something is a form of wrong judgment characterized by a specific false expectation.

If it’s updated in some specific actions (the refuse of accepting the change) it will lead to the partial or total destruction of the being’s own system (for e.g. the cases of suicide).

The suffering which accompanies the wrong judgments specific to the permanent attachments (specific to the sadness, the depression, the anger or indignation) warns us to take immediately the necessary measures in order to correct these judgments or to eliminate them from the psyche. Otherwise the harmony of our own system will be destroyed.

If we are aware of this and don’t let to manifest in our psyche some psychical automatic processes specific, to the anger or sadness, we can act promptly at the apparition of these signals in order to guilty restore the systems harmony.

If we don’t continue to “sleep” or to act on “automatic pilot” and thus to suffer, we can’t consider ourselves guilty for its presence in our psyche. We have to realize that the single and unique cause of the psychical suffering is inside of our psyche: I mean, we allow to the wrong judgments to manifest there.

Throwing away this cause, we also throw away the suffering which is its consequence.
