Non-attachment.

To be in a non-attached relationship means that the possessive and controlling part of you is not in evidence. It does not mean that we no longer care or offer service to the other, only that there are no conditions around that. We love because we can, not for something in return.
We care because we can, not for something in return. To live without attachment means that we can enjoy the pleasant things when they present themselves without grasping or making demands that they stay forever, and that we can abide patiently with any unpleasant things until they change. Judgements, personal views and opinions fall away as we allow everyone and everything the space they need to be at peace in the world.
We give all beings enough space to truly show and be themselves.
Non-attachment is not cold or impersonal (that’s more relevant to the term ‘detachment’), it is loving, spacious and respectful.
If we don’t know how to be happy ourselves, how can we insist that others follow our way, our advice or our council? To be in a non-attached relationship is the highest manifestation of loving kindness, giving the liberty and freedom to another being to be at peace in their life.
This becomes your gift to the world.

May all beings, without exception, be happy.
