Disenchantment with Attachment

A great philosopher once said, "Expectations are suicidal". I think along with that attachment is more suicidal. Well i know the following space will be filled with disjointed thoughts and random musings but i guess it's a reflection of my current state of mind.

Every morning when one wakes up the feeling of being alive is phenomenal. Cynics may frown and wonder,"Why? What on earth is so beautiful about waking up every morning and getting badgered by the day?"
Well, a positive mind like mine, at this point, may like to philosophize and say,"Since you are alive, you may change, can do a lot more to alter the day, to alter your life, iron out glitches, weed ill thoughts, wipe out people who affect you in a negative way, anything positive anything that can bring a much more than smile on your face, make you happy, cos it's fair to be a tad selfish, who isn't?"

The best way to cope with anything that someone near to you says that ruffles your sanity, peace of mind is to remind yourself that this moment when we are feeling sad, low, disgruntled, angry and dejected, the next moment none of it would be there cos death is not only inevitable but also fiercely unexpected. So when one dies nothing is left. Nothing at all.

So what i choose to do is to remain detached and if it helps me, after a lot of effort if i have been able to acquire it, then it should help others. And after sometime the efforts would be effortless.
