The Short Version

I had originally planned on writing a post about attachment to impermanent phenomena, and the confused views that are the root of such attachments. I had been thinking about the content of such a post for a few days now, and it was shaping up to be quite lengthy. But that's all changed now. I was just reading some of the Dhammapada when two lines seemed to stand out in particular.


Rely on nothing
Until you want nothing.

Those two lines on their own, don't really explain things in the way that I was planning to attempt. But at that moment, it was all that I needed to consider.
