Attachments to earthly desires and how they distract us from our true nature

In our modern society we are conditioned to believe that wealth in all its aspects in our careers, in our love lives, in our houses, cars and boats equates to success. Our gadgets and clothing are prime examples also... But attachment's can also be of the mental kind too.  Attachments to events, situations or relationships which have occurred in the past, situations yet to be determined. We forget to live presently..  Buddhist philosophy states that the root of all earthly suffering is attachments. So if we can divorce ourselves from earthly attachments can we live a more fruitful, happier life, free to concentrate on what truly matters....?   http://thespiritchannel.blog/2020/08/12/the-descent/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thezenith/message
