Man, that Wisconsin loss tore me up brother
More attachment= more pain when there's loss. This years team ain't doing that to me.
Same here Willy. And the same for my immediate family. For example, last night, at one point, I was the only one watching the game. My kids were doing their homework, wife was busy with Christmas stuff. Now, last year, everyone would have been in front of the TV watching and living by every play. Not this year. Interesting. Cats. FCC.
Dude, you're asking for big trouble quoting Willy in church.
haha too late, already wrote most of what i'm supposed to be talking on. will post it when finished!
****, I can't wait to hear this.
D2 is getting stoned tonight. Literally
It's good advice. Don't get attached to Anything or Anyone. Better to be a loan wolf.
Here is what my speech was:
"My friend Willy once wrote, "Because there is never permanence in life, one should not attach oneself to a situation where attachment will cause inevitable suffering." I thought it was particularly meaningful for today's topic on indifference. Attachment and indifference are polar opposites. However, letting go of attachment is not the same as indifference. Indifference is not caring when your wife kisses another man. Letting go of attachment is fully accepting that your wife has the capacity to kiss other people--even if you sincerely hope that she doesn't. It means you are ready to accept any conclusion of a situation with the hope that you will be able to deal with it gracefully. Indifference is the lack of vested interest; letting go of attachment is the willful surrender of control of an outcome--in graceful deference to another power."

The imagery on that is messed up.
