"To live non-attachedly is to feel impulses, think thoughts, and experience life without becoming hooked by mental narratives about how things 'should' be, or should never be, or should remain forever. The perfectly non-attached Buddhist would be simply, calmly present, and non-judgmentally aware.
"Which, let's be frank, isn't going to happen for most of us any time soon."
-Oliver Burkeman, The Antidote: Happiness For People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking
