We confuse attachment with love. Attachment is concerned with my needs, my happiness, while love is an unselfish attitude concerned with the needs and happiness of others. Most of the time our love is mixed with attachment because we do not feel secure on our own, and try to find wholeness through another. We become dependent on the good feelings and comfort of the relationship and then suffer when it changes. A relationship free of unrealistic grasping is free of disappointment, conflict, jealousy, and other problems, and is fertile ground for the love of growth and wisdom.Kathleen McDonald
