The Importance of Loving and Being Unattached

The key insight in this snip is that it is possible to love and be unattached at the same time. The speaker admires someone who is able to effortlessly connect with everyone in the room without being attached to them. This person is described as kind, well-integrated, and admired by many. The speaker contrasts this person's approach with that of the Dalai Lama, who is unattached to everything, including people. The Dalai Lama's love is not based on attachment, and he emphasizes the difference between love and attachment. The speaker acknowledges that attaining this level of unattached love is difficult but believes it is a standard worth striving for. They reflect on their own life and research, highlighting the satisfaction problem and the never-ending quest for permanent satisfaction. The speaker suggests that detaching love from attachment is the answer and emphasizes the importance of wanting less rather than having more. This is a moral lesson learned from the Dalai Lama and something the speaker intends to apply for the rest of their life.
