“Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be attained only by someone who is detached”

"Attachment is another name for our sorrow at what we have not been able to achieve in this world. Duties performed and tasks accomplished disappear into the limbo of oblivion, leaving no sense of longing behind. But our feeling for persons left behind as orphans or for tasks which failed to reach fruition, persists."

    and i quote de niro from Heat.

    Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.

    I suppose it boils down to priorities in the end.
