________________ Love versus Attachment Love is the bond of that disinterested relationship born of an inner sense of collective happiness of creatures in life universal; whereas attachment is the bond of that self-centred relationship projected from the notion of insular happiness in the life of an individual. The resplendent beams of love bring to full blossom the embedded lotus-bud even in the heart of an opponent, while the dark shafts of attachment shrink off the full-blossomed flower, as it caresses man's heart. Hence, love has been acclaimed as light, and attachment denounced as darkness! The Freedom of the Imbecile No wonder if the freedom acquired by a decadent people turns out to be the cause of their own annihilation, even as a potential drug administered to an imbecile can prove to be the cause of his own undoing like a scimitar placed into the hands of a senseless ape.
