Detachment From The External

Detachment from the external

Dependency may appear to be love because it is a force that causes people to fiercely attach themselves to one another. But in actuality it is not love; it is a form of antilove. It seeks to receive rather than to give. It nourishes infantilism rather than growth. It works to trap and constrict rather than to liberate. Ultimately it destroys rather than builds relationships, and it destroys rather than builds people.

Unfulfilled Desires?

One of the biggest lessons I learned as an adult was the reality of unfulfilled desires. It was something that I'd never dreamt as a possibility. I thought that if you feel it deeply and work towards it, your desires will come true. Or just living in the future will make the desire happen. Or feeling it all over your body and your intuition and seeing coincidences is proof that your desires will come true. Unfulfilled desires are like empty buckets, they may be filled someday so the wait keeps perpetuating.

Despite knowing people in external world who lived with unfulfilled desires, unreached potential and unaccomplished goals, I, for some reasons, thought that I was exceptional and different. I do not mean to say that one must live in misery, frustration and depression all the time. Some door opens when others are closed..

What I mean is that this concrete reality of 'unfulfilled desires' is something we don't talk much about. Sometimes it feels like the unfulfilled desires are socially silenced to the extent that a person buries and curls themselves up into a symbolic ball. So that nobody can see their unfulfilled desires and aspirations, and consequently gaze at their vulnerability aka emotional nakedness.

But maybe if we talk about it... Or perhaps it's better if we don't?
