Thanks Sci, Your thoughts make a lot of sense. Vanilla mentioned "determination" earlier. I was intrigued. I searched self determination, found this and copied it here:
What is Self-Determination?
Self-determination is a cluster of several skills, abilities, knowledge, beliefs, traits and talents that enable people to engage themselves with tons of self-confidence. It comes from your inner strength and courage. It helps to take on the challenges and changes in life with head on. It strengthens your inner belief to take the battle to its logical end. Self-determination is something hidden which can be demonstrated through actions not by external appearance.
Does Self Determination help with detachment? Does it have any connection to detachment?
