How too much attachments or obsession causes the suffering
We are living the life with full of attachments. We are getting too much obsessed with the things or relations we possess. In the present world of materialistic desires we are gaining more ground on the attachments.
Right from the start of day till the end of day we are surrounded by things. Each and every thing we do possess has been the inevitable part of our life. Once we get habitual of things then we can't easily get over the obsession of it.
Can you imagine your day without your smartphone?
Obviously answer is No. We are getting too much attached with the materialistic things in our life. Any kind of too much attachment will eventual causes suffering.
If you were asked to give up the use of smartphone for rest of the life, then instantly you will get feeling of sadness and loss.
When we get too much attached with something, you will be in continuous state of fear. You will always feel insecure by the thought that someday you will lose the thing you are obsessed with. This attachment which is making you feel insecure is the real cause of suffering and fear in life.
Our mind always want to attach some meaning to everything we have in our life. Simply the thought of losing the thing will make you feel bad.
You attach meaning to things like having luxury car means you are living the high profile lifestyle. So you never want to lose that object as you have attached meaning to it.
It is applicable for love relationship also. When you have some partner in life, then you feel your life is perfect and meaningful. You can't even imagine the life without that partner. Here you have attached too much meaning to the presence of that partner.
In case you have to leave that relationship, then you can't even bear the pain. Because you have made that partner as a your life. More importance and obsession to person in your own life.
Most of the people in society are too much obsessed with the social status of prestige. They can't even imagine their life without the fame or social status. Here we must understand the basic thing that you have given too much importance to that thing more than your own life.
Don't get carried away by the ego of mind. Your are living the delusional life where all this prestige and fame is the ego created by your thinking mind.
Money is also the major obsession in most of our life. We are flaunting all the social norms to earn the money by illegal means. Only having too much money will not make you happy and peaceful. Your obsession about money will bring more chaos and disturbances in person life. Once should earn enough money but should be get obsessed to have all the world within the power.
Our society is consciously pressing us to have the all the materialistic desires in our life. We are under pressure to imitate the high society lifestyle of our nearby people. Why we are giving too much importance to the things which doesn't add much value to our life?
Final Thoughts
If someone want to live the peaceful and happy life, then they must give up the obsession. You must have all the comfort and desired lifestyle but you shouldn't get carried away by the too much attachment with it. Those who possess all the opulence still live the simple life will never get the suffering by losing the things.
