Free Yourself From Attachment ...The Dhammapada of Guatama The Buddha...
Why do people live in such misery? - for the simple reason that they cling to things. The moment you cling you are creating misery for yourself, because nothing is going to be permanent here. Life is a river; it goes on moving, changing. You can't even predict the next moment. So if you cling to something and the next moment you find it slipping out of your hands, you will be in great pain, great misery. And the irony is: if you don't lose it and it reamains with you, fulfilling desire, then too, one day you are going to be very fed up... because the mind always requires the new to remain distracted. The mind is always searching for novelty, for something new.
