Attachment.......

.
........is the root of all suffering.

Supposedly saith the Buddha.

On days when I pause to think of it, I begin to think there might be something to that. Whether it be attachment to hearth and home or to loved ones or possessions, jobs, cars, fine jewelry, art, a myriad of tangible and not so things.

On the other hand, without the desire for so many of these things we might still be eating what we picked up off the ground and beating our cousins the chimpanzees off with a stick.

But then if you never had it, you'd never miss it.........Right?
