Thoughts and Perspectives – Attachments – Kathleen McDonald

“We confuse attachment with love.  Attachment is concerned with my needs, my happiness, while love is an unselfish attitude, concerned with the needs and happiness of others…A relationship free of unrealistic grasping is free of disappointment, conflict, jealousy, and other problems, and is fertile ground for the growth of love and wisdom.”  – Kathleen McDonald, Buddhist nun

Relationships full of love and wisdom – isn’t this a beautiful concept to strive for?   How would our families be impacted if we took some of this quote to heart?
