attachment

i think it's healthier to love something immensely and distance yourself from it a little, than to become so attached that living without it isn't even conceivable. because attachment can be blinding and maddening like they say love is. this can apply to anything and everything, whether it be chocolate, an abusive partner or a website. like say there was a man who was completely infatuated by sunsets and he planned his days around them, always making sure he watched them, wherever he was. until one day he unfortunately went blind for some reason or other. the pain of never again being able to see his sun go down in a multitude of unpredictable colours each day broke him completely and made him delirious. his heart too broke with an ache to see even one more, but nobody could ever correctly communicate to him the feeling of seeing a sunset again, simply because they were not so passionately attached to them as he was.
