Attachment is not about love and compassion, anymore than detachment is.
Human beings are social beings and have normal human attachments - to friends, family and activities.
We will feel emotions in regards to things which occur to us if we are out there living our lives and engaging with others - if we are open and functioning well emotionally we can feel sadness, happiness, fear, anger and will know how to express and deal with the emotions effectively.
Suffering will not arise.
Suffering arises due to unhealthy clinging and attachment which gives rise to craving.
