hi there EG and all,

Really good question EG.
I ereally think that TYING to detach is impossible. We have been so conditioned by our past experiences or people etc, I think trying to actively detach from people places and things is a recipe for neurosis and ultimately suffering. Happy detachment is a by product. It happens through right mindfulness. Using detachment as a goal, we will feel the cold heartedness EG describes. When true detachment happens it is an act of pure loving kindness.

In metta,

JM
