Why Should We Love And Not Get Attached?

The word love is frequently used and at times people use it without even meaning it and sometimes they don’t even know if they are really in love or is it an attachment or a different kind of feeling. And by attachment, it is not just limited to romantic relationships.

So, what does attachment bring along with it?

When you are attached to someone the thought of detachment brings fear and anxiety. You say you love somebody but the thought of being away from that person scares you or when they leave, you find it hard to continue your normal life. You lose sleep, appetite, smile while your chest feels heavy and you find it hard to breathe. If it is attachment when you are detached from someone, it is going to be hard, it is going to hurt. That emptiness is going to haunt you for days. But love doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t haunt you. And if it does, you are not in love.

Love is freedom, love is beautiful. When you love someone, you don’t have to force anything. It just happens, you just let it breathe peacefully, freely. And when you can do this, love won’t hurt you even when your lover decides to leave. Be it any kind of relationship, love and don’t get attached. The day you will understand the true meaning of love will be the day when you won’t feel hurt. Because love heals, it is beautiful and is one of the best feelings. Spread love, be in love but don’t get attached.
