#CoronaChronicles:- Attachment

The virus attaches itself to host tissue and cells and causes infection and disease.
Since I have started writing the chronicles I too have become attached to it. Every morning I look forward to writing And sharing with you all and wait for your feedback. I think about how humans have a tendency to get attached so easily.

A lot of times we get so overtly clingy to material things and possessions that money can buy that we are unable to even imagine Having to part with them. We become sensitive, possessive about those things. Similarly a lot of times we become so attached to relationships that we can’t fathom a life without those people in our life.

Attachment is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it’s good to be able to relate and connect with people, things, jobs, education etc but on the other hand too much of obsession about anything in particular is more detrimental than of any positive use. The attachment to material wealth is often the cause of most of mankind’s misery. It makes us petty, selfish, ungiving, greedy. Everything which is most harmful to your own personality than to anyone on the outside.
An important lesson for parents from an early age on is to raise independent children. We often are blinded by our affection for our child and wish to hold on to them like magnets forever. Parents do not want to let go off a child’s hand at any age because of this deep-rooted attachment. I have seen numerous parents who do not let their children aspire or pursue their dreams just out of fear of having to be away from the children. If you wish to see your children rise upto the skies you have to provide the wings and set them free. You cannot hang onto them forever or not let them fly.

The biggest gift you can give your children is that freedom of flight. Be attached but not in ways that you end up complicating life. Be attached but not so much that it becomes harmful to both self and the opposite person. And Most importantly think about the fact that material possessions are meant to bring pleasure, do not give them so much importance or run after them, and get attached to them that they become a source of stress in your life. Certainly do not be over-attached to material things.

Relationships are the most beautiful part of being human, cherish them, relish them, nurture them, enjoy them, but always give each other space to grow. Don’t be overbearing or over obsessive or over-attached.

Stay Home. Stay Safe. Stay Put.
