Attachment causes suffering because all of life is, by definition, transient. And as much as we may protest and protect and pray against it, loss is inevitable.
And one of the greatest disservices we do ourselves is confusing the two. Because by defining “love” as “attachment,” we’re setting ourselves up for nothing but emotional suffering.
“Attachment is the origin, the root of suffering… the cause of suffering.” - The Dalai Lama
