The Irreverent Reverend --
Why Non-Attachment It's much more basic. It took a major heart attack to get me to think and re-evaluate. Suddenly most stuff -- all the stuff that seemed so important in my life -- the stuff that had been driving me all these years -- wasn't that important.
I let go of the things I did to people that I felt guilty about. I forgave myself. I've decided that attachment is anything -- big or small -- that messes with your mind, that you are angry about, fearful of, or that threatens to destroy your peace of mind. It can really make a difference in your life! |
I guess I always thought this idea of non-attachment was about letting go of vices and "sinful pursuits." 
When you are staring death in the face, none of the worldly crap matters any more. Suddenly you get a radically new perspective.
