Hi David, 'attachment' or 'clinging' means that we hold onto things as being 'me' and 'mine'. We try to hold on to other people and various things in life thinking that they will bring us happiness. We can also be attached to our own views and opinions too. So we're constantly seeking exterior things to make us happy and then suffering mentally and emotionally because those things change in one way or another and are impermanent.

When we gradually learn to cling less, we begin to have more peace of mind and understanding, whilst still appreciating the world around us.
