People seem to be motivated and operate by their attachment to the "way things work" and to the outcome of things based on their own personal logic. What happens when one starts to lose their attachment to these things? How does one interact and function in that world, especially the world of men, if it no longer really matters any more? Do you still choose happiness not because it's right or good but because it simply feels better? Why stick to any set of morals or other standard of behavior? Why be motivated to do anything if any path is just as important as the next? Is losing attachment just another adoption of a system that one becomes attached to?
We do anything so we can fulfill our greatest visions about who we want to be. Within the framework of who we think we are, who we want to be, and who we want to be within the environment, we exactly be that. All life is a journey of constant self recreation. We constantly add to the universe of our psyche, and redefine ourselves every moment.
Hi leafstew, Even if you abandon attachments, it doesn't mean you lose the ability to gain meaning of the world. Actually what happens is that when you start to understand things of the world as they really are, you don't get attachment from them and you see the way things work. Then, if there's no attachment how can people be motivated to keep living? People come to gain their own way through their life. According to what was in your life, you get results appearing through that, and what was in you also becomes the cause of what you come to experience in the future. When you have conscience and courage you can really start to lead a great life filled with love in order to teach people and help them. WIthout living people don't understand the value and great meaning in life. There is a law in the world which we can see explains why people are a certain way. A certain problem makes a certain result according to what's in the problem. therefore the value of living is that you get the opportunity to change your problems and change the results you get if you don't want to accept your bad conditions. So this means that even when you don't have attachments, one path is not the same as the next as the results appearing through them are different. The best thing for someone who doesn't know which path to choose is to meet and learn from a man who knows the way to the destination. Paul
