Just remember to scan your attachments for possible viruses before you open them.

Don't apologise. Now I'm starting to suffer. 😕

Attachment leads to suffering.
It can, but I don't think it is inevitable. It certainly doesn't follow that the attachment is not worth it.

Like I said earlier, commitment is better than attachment.

Then should we have to conclude that Truth (factual suffering) as you would perceive it, it would be so unbearable that it would force you to become a lier instead of accepting it?

I think over-attchment leads to physical or psycological suffering in the form of a come-down.
Its a pretty loose statement, open to a lot of differing interpratation.
But basically we all suffer on some level-unless we are so ignorant that it becomes bliss(?)

Attachment. Like the guy I saw on the side of the road in his 30's badly in need of a bath with a sign that said he needed help who had a dog too.

I thought of telling him to get rid of the dog, but no doubt he was attached to it.

Thats exactly the reason I said "over-attachment".Y'know ,attached to too many things too strongly.
I guess in the bhuddist version they are trying to say that we are already part of god (or whatever) and hence do not need to attach ourselves, rather, "let go".
