Message: Possessiveness and attachment occur as a consequence of pride. Some people would rather die than be "wrong". Attachment to view/ self/things/anyting is, therefore, a potential cause for suffering, because attachment brings about fear of loss and, with loss, we go back into apathy, depression, and grief. If we are prideful of a car/our body/our possessions/our self image etc and somebody steals it or it no longers is there as all things are subject to change (impermanence) , we will experience anguish, pain, and suffering. If, instead, we loosely hold the car (emotionally speaking), and we enjoy its beauty and perfection and we feel grateful for having it, its loss will bring about only minor disappointment.
