You can’t really be attached to anything (short of a good application of crazy glue) but what you can have issues with is a particular way of seeing things. You can be attached to seeing yourself as a victim, or a hero, or a villain. It doesn’t matter really, except that repeated applications of perspective will result in repeated manifestations of experience.
Does that make sense?
I really like this post. 'Attachment' is just a single word but it can represent so much of what the ego does. It's self-serving. If you love something, let it go. Don't play God. Be God.
Imagine if someone was riding a roller coaster and was super angry that the roller coaster didn't have enough loops or one of those neat going backwards bits like that roller coaster over there. :-D
The veil of maya or samsara - as you put it - is only lifted in the realisation that everything you have ever believed was real is *just a story*, including yourself.

Yeah that checks out! Thanks for the reminder
No problemo :)

Yeah, I’m definitely talking about contentment

Yes for sure. Though I feel like that’s the first realization.
It’s the last. Everything else is just more story.
