"Pleasure in its fullness cannot be experienced when one is grasping it."
Allan Watts
I have had many great moments in life. It happened not because I desired it to happen or crave it to happen, but because it just happened. I was just being myself, enjoying the moment.
I have a crush. I have loved her so long that it started to become like a craving.
It makes every action I make ineffective.
I have to let go of my crush, let go of my friends, my family, other people. Anything is not personal in life.
If someone dislikes you it is not because of you, he/she projects certain projection, insecurity or shadow onto you.
See the whole situation.
I work at MacDonald, and we had a farewell party for the store manager. Once the store manager came back to the store. I was with another female coworker, who the store manager had taught to be a manager. The moment I saw his face, I could see some resentment in it.
I was a bit shocked because I could see some dark side of people.
However, it is pretty usual.
I have a woman who I want to teach English because her dream is to study abroad. If I teach her, and I will form some attachment with her. If I find her with another man, don't I react to the situation in the same way with the store manager? Think about it a moment.
The key is to let it go. Giving and Let it go. No attachment.
"Nothing is to be clung as I, me or mine."
paraphrase of teaching of Buddha.
Let go of any attachment of life, people, success, money, and start to feel free, and focus on how beautiful and great to be live freely.
Be and live at the present moment, and enjoy it. That is life.
Here is an advice from Alan Watts on Letting go of attachment.
