So how do you actually detach? In light of the above, I'm starting to think that detaching occurs when we build an infrastructure to meet our own needs without our WAS. That's why GAL is so important. It gives us chances to meet other people and have other experiences that meet some of our needs.
Hello Z,
Wow! What an enlightening post. It should be added to one of the special forums, Zues!
I read your post 3 times because there are so many good comments in it.
I didn't mention it Saturday or yesterday, but my big GAL activity this past weekend was going with a local Meetup Group to a very famous mansion. It was awesome and I met some very nice people. It was my first event with this group. I even had one woman (who I admit I found attractive) flirting with me. I must admit it stroked my ego a little. Of course, nothing came of it as I kept my distance. I still love my W!
Zues, I think you have s special gift. That gift is being able to put things in perspective for others.
I just don't know what I'd do without you and the others on this forum.
Maybe I can post more later....I'm still at work.
Take care.
Bob
