I think we all can relate to 'control your emotions, or they will control you'. When we don't detach, we run the risk of becoming out of control of our emotions and experiencing greater low self-esteem and low self-worth as a result. This, at a time when we need to feel more worthy, not less.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
