Flexibility

Being detached has nothing to do with the conventional credence that one is disengaged from emotions/feelings/sentiments. In fact, the most rigid people, those who tend to consider themselves, “emotionally unavailable”, think they are “detached”. But that’s not true at all. Being detached means to be adaptable. Means, having the flexibility to implement variations, to accept other ways and different thoughts. It means to be receptive to adopt new behaviours. Detached people welcome change, they seek it, because they know there are truths in every perspective, and wisdom in the many ways of doing the same thing. Detached people want to see and experience it all, without setting themselves boundaries. Being detached, contrary to what we might have been made to believe, or in other words, the way our perspective made us interpret it, it’s pretty much the opposite of being emotionally unavailable. What emotionally unavailable people tend to overlook, is that they are very much emotional involved in their own ways, and that is exactly why they fail to see it, they are unreceptive to new input, they label themselves as, not bothered, not caring. When in fact they do care, they care immensely about keeping their individual structure and point of views intact. They are deeply bothered about anything that can possibly threaten their old patterns and their ways of doing things. They defend their stances because it creates them emotional stress, since they are not detached from their firm conducts, they are so tangled in their standpoint and beliefs that they refuse to be anything other than their self-labelled; “not involved/not caring.” Detached people are not tied-in with their habits, they can freely adjust to new situations and adapt effortlessly to new circumstances. A detached person can spontaneously feel and know multitudes of Wisdom. Only once you became detached can you experience a myriad of sentiments that will help you to grow, freely experiencing the many extents of this existence, not just the uniformity you restrict yourself in attachments to your intransigent conformity. Non-detached people will fight and resist against everything that threatens their default positions to guard their passionate involvement to it.
