They are just words, I was trying to explain what the largely mental/physiological experiences behind "attachment is the root of suffering." In my experience the suffering comes from not the thought "I wish it were otherwise" but from the belief in that thought, the indignation that this self should experience that! If you want to refine wanting to have the moment be otherwise than it is into a list of two different types of dissatisfaction is fine, but not the idea I was trying to add my two cents to. > Personally, I don't see alternatives, so I ask. > > --Joe > >> Email <brintala@...> wrote: >> >> Attachment to your health, your family, your possessions, your reputation, >> your intellect, your mind, your life. >> >> Sent from my iPhone > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > Current Book Discussion: any Zen book that you recently have read or are > reading!
