Love and Attachment



Love everyone and everything but never be attached to anyone or anything, because there is a difference between attachment and love. - Shobija

Yes of course there is difference between Love and Attachment
Love the word in English can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from pleasure to interpersonal attraction. It can refer to an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment.
Attachment means dynamics of long-term relationships between humans. Its most important tenet is that an infant needs to develop a relationship with at least one primary caregiver for social and emotional development to occur normally. Ex: how much parent’s relationship with the child influences development.

Everyone is always love, there is no human who is not possessed by the word love.
I find fault here at Maslow's hierarchy of needs Basic needs (Psychological) need has no love how can sex be. 
Any species name it human or animal if they don't have anyone to love them, or anything for them to love they wouldn't have urge to live. 
Having said that why I say love but never be attached, it's about balancing, choosing.
The love of Mother is the purest of anything, they carry their child in there woman and give birth with so much of pain and do go through worse pains when their child grow up.
Parents have had once been a child of their parent but yet everything changes when they become a parent, parents show immeasurable love.
You would have all come across stories murderers who killed tens of people but his mother might be a person staying on the court saying my son didn't do it. That is what is called blind affection, care which you get only from parents, and all this comes with that word attachment because there is both attachment and love.
 
A Couple in a relationship is in love, both are madly in love but one person is in love and more attached to his/her partner. That is one person loves to the core, loving everything about the other and thinking there that there is no life without the partner.
Have you heard of a person who had attempted suicide just because their pet dog died, that’s attachment.
There are people in the world who sacrifice themselves for pathetic reasons, i would say only because they aren't ready to see the world as it is. This world is full of liars, cheaters, and selfish. Finding anyone noble and selfless is harder that finding pearl from the sea.

We are attached to people whom we trust, belief, share our thoughts and secrets, be it your boyfriend, girlfriend, partner, spouse, best friend. it really hurts when all the trust is broken into pieces. You may cry cry and can never stop cry, sometimes you get this feeling of not even believing, trusting yourself anymore. Life is never a perfect straight road we have to crawl, walk, run, through the curves and swim through the deep rough sea.

Love yourself and learn to trust yourself.
