00:00Consider a car that is first of all going down the wrong road.
00:04Secondly, it has a husband and wife that are bickering and shouting and hitting at each other.
00:10That is attachment.
00:11That is suffering.
00:13How exciting!
00:14Our culture has turned attachment into a value.
00:18We don't feel ashamed admitting that we are attached.
00:21And because we don't feel ashamed, we keep encouraging our attachments.
00:25No alarm goes off in our mind when attachment arises.
00:29We feel there is something beautiful that is happening in me.
00:32You know, attachment.
00:33It is very proximate to love.
00:36That's what we feel.
00:38That's what our culture has fed into us.
00:40Attachment is poison.
00:42What does it have to do with love, sir?
00:45It is a dirty thing.
00:47It stinks.
00:48Give me the object I pray for.
00:51Your objective is consumption.
00:53You want to consume the other fellow.
