attachment/commitment

okay....just a little more sharin' from my reading...
(kitchen table wisdom) this woman just rocks!


'modern life has made us people of attachment
rather than people of commitment. indeed, many
people have found that it is difficult to tell
the difference between attachment and commitment
in their own lives. yet attachment leads farther
and farther into entrapment. commitment, though
it may sometimes feel constricting, will ultimately
lead to greater degrees of freedom.
......one can distinguish between the two in most
situations by noticing over time whether one has
moved through this activity or this relationship
closer to freedom or closer to bondage....'


i really liked this.
and it got me thinking about the two.
attachment/commitment.

can kinda nudge you into assessing your whole life
with those two words in mind, can't it???

hmmmmmmm.........
