Attachment

How easy it is to fall into the traps of attachment. I watch myself and see myself becoming annoyed at so many silly things. I get angry that someone has deprived me of some unimportant thing that I felt entitled to. I catch myself feeling self important when I have achieved something and forget that I am not my achievements. It seems that with every person I see, I notice something about them that makes them (in my mind) less than me. It is only when I see myself doing this that I realize the foolishness of it all.

I watch all this and give myself a pat on the back when I see how well I am observing myself and how much better a person I am becoming as a result. Then the watcher has a little chuckle and wonders how will I ever get over my greatest attachment, to I.
