Commitment Versus Attachment

When I feel committed, it gives me purpose, energy, direction. But to fulfill my commitment, especially if someone else is committed to the opposite cause, I need to understand all angles, all sides. I need to not let disdain and scorn and hate get in my way It's a lot like practicing law.  Attachment feels different.  It feels like a clingy state. There’s something I want, I think I know why,and I’m sure I know best. I’m not learning, not open, and often, not understanding. There’s a tightness - it’s inside the word itself - and separation, and sometimes, hate.Maybe commitment is about being fierce, and attachment is vicious. Maybe commitment is about caring and attachment isn’t. I don’t know for sure. What is the difference for you?
