Attachment
can make us unhappy. It is better not to get attached
as it makes us see things with a bias, falters perception,
distorts truth and corrupts judgment.
A lady asked her friend; "How is your daughter?" Her friend replied cheerfully, "My daughter is
very lucky. What a wonderful
husband she has! He has provided her with a servant
maid, a cook, a driver and all comforts in the world.
She doesn't have to get up from bed until noon. She
doesn't have to cook. She doesn't have to do any work.
She is treated like a princess".
"And how is your
son?" continued the lady. Her friend replied sadly,
"Poor boy! Look at his fate. What a dominating
wife he has. She forced him to employ a servant maid,
a cook and a driver. She doesn't get up from bed until
noon. She doesn't cook or do any work. She thinks she
is a princess"
