Quote: Yes! It puts you in a place of your own, a center, from which you can be a rock, from which you can draw your own happiness. The freedom that it enables you to experience is tremendous, and the effect of that freedom in how you now relate to another person, in effect, giving them that freedom to be themselves, is frickin' phenomenal. Truly, less is more. Wonderful things happen when you let the bird fly that otherwise would not have when your hands are so tightly gripped around it.
NOW THAT is quotable. That, more than your expansion on the definition of detachment on my thread, sums up how I see this ideal. It is liberating.
