Do we get rid of one attachement by creating another one? You & others on this forum define yourselves as Buddhists, so Buddhism becomes a part of your ego and you start to use Buddhism in your dialy life, so Buddhism becomes just another conditioning.
To depend on ourselves is freedom, but unfortunately we dont want to be free, we always want someone to tell us what to do, this is what we have been doing for our entire life!!! We dont know any other way and we are too lazy/too scared to try.
