In the course of life we generally get attached to certain people and things in such a way that we never want to lose them. We want to provide them with the ultimate happiness and love , even at the cost of our own sufferings.It is through their happiness that we derive our own and it gives us immense satisfaction to see them happy.
This part is called "attachement".
However , we must realize that despite our best wishes and efforts , life will charter its own course. There will be times when everything will go against our wishes. We will feel helpless on losing few loved ones or finding them in pain.There will be a whole lot of issues going against us and we will be able to do very little about it. We will feel completely devastated.
In those moments the only thing that can help us picking up those broken pieces is "acceptance". We must accept the fact that life is not going to be fair.It is never completely black or white.It has its own shade of grey that makes it intriguing. It is neither good or bad .It is simply as it is.
So while attaching ourselves to our loved ones and things , we must be detached to the outcomes so that we could continue this journey, realizing the impermanence of everything. Nothing is going to be here forever.Everything is transient and it will all vanish one day, sooner or later.This realization has power to give us the reason to live and continue in our own pursuit.
That's called being "detached" to the attachments.
