Don't let ur emotions run away with U..... (80)
bodleing2: The truth is, all negative emotions are a form of suffering, anger, envy, attachment and uncontrolled desire to name a few. In life physical pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Are you saying being attached to someone is a negative emotion? If so I would beg to differ. We all need to have attachments to others. If a person purposely avoids or can't form a bond to anyone then they have some serious emotional problems that if at all possible needs to be dealt with.On the other hand being obsessed with someone would certainly qualify as a negative emotion that would also need to be fixed if possible.

Not, I'm not saying that at all. Love for someone can be free from the burden of of attachment, much as appreciation for an object or possession can be experience without attachment.On the other hand being obsessed with someone would certainly qualify as a negative emotion that would also need to be fixed if possible.
If we say, "I need you to make me happy, " that's attachment. If we say, "I want to make you happy, " that's love.
It's a subtle difference on the surface, but in reality, they are polar opposites.

bodleing2: In a way, yes. But I'm not sure control is the right word, that could be a form of suppression. It's more a case of recognising an emotional has been triggered, acknowledging it, but releasing it with awareness. It takes a lot of practice before this happens automatically but it's worth the effort.
Of course some emotions are good, but it's still better to respond to them rather than react.

I agree! This is referred to as "unnecessary suffering"------ This thread is Archived ------
bodleing2: I'm talking about negative emotions, greed, envy, hatred, attachment and so on.
None of these if allowed to go unchecked make you a better person, or a person you'd want to be around.
Oh la la... the more I read, the more I like what I´m reading. None of these if allowed to go unchecked make you a better person, or a person you'd want to be around.

Bod is one of the most genuine kindest persons on this site.
So his ideas don't align with yours. You can still show people respect and consideration, even when their views are different than yours.

I do agree that thinking there's only one particular person that can make you happy is a problem, and is really more of an obsession. Never the less with out minor or and major attachments to others, can we really be happy? I also don't think you can have love for anything or anyone without some sort of an attachment, even if it's all in your mind or one sided. Whether or not all of those attachments are healthy is the question.If we say, "I need you to make me happy, " that's attachment. If we say, "I want to make you happy, " that's love.
It's a subtle difference on the surface, but in reality, they are polar opposites.
However, I do believe you can have attachments without love.
