Attachment

It is of human Nature to attach ourselves to things and people. I just finish reading this book from Neale Walsh, called " Conversations with God", and it made me think that there's some thruth about some of the things I read there. For instance, the author inspired by God, talks about the reason why many relationships fail.

We expect too much from the other person, we hope this person will make changes for us or the other way around. This also applies to a relationship with friends, our kids, and families. We set up expectations that when not met, we fall into this stage of deception and stress.

I know this is true, because I experience it with my own kid. I mean, he is only 12, why I am being so harsh on him? why do I expect so much from a person that has little experience about life?

We expect that our friends call us every week and we don't hear from them, we already start thinking, that they aren't our friends anymore or that they only call us when they need us.

While dating we create a world of fantasy and start molding our mates in our image...lol

We attach ourselves to everything. I've learn that nothing really belongs to us, we are here to experience ourselves, and to learn. We can't help being attached to our children and when the training wheels need to come off, God... we make a world of it.

Maybe I am selfish, but although I love my son to death, I have learn not to attach myself to him, and why? because is unhealthy. I remember a good friend of mine, that her son was ready to leave for college, she was sooo attached, she bought him an appartement near by, a brand new car so he couldn't move away...that's unhealthy.

The truth is, nothing is forever, our souls are but not the people or things around us..
