Lama Surya Das questions why is it so hard to let go of even superficial attachments? Impossible even? The fact is that most of us have a love-hate relationship with change. We like change, and we don’t like change. We like new and different things, and yet we are attached to the familiar. Comfort food and comforting habits are examples of the way we cling to familiar routines and ruts. Often we cling to habits that aren’t even comforting or satisfying simply because we are unable to let go or explore new ways to do things. Think of all the people who hang on to their addictions because they are resistant to change. Individual change and transformation can be difficult. It takes guts. And sometimes, it requires outside help.
