Detachment and Participating

[trafalgar]

Must one be prepared to do be able to do things with detachment? Is that what it means to grow up (or to be prepared for the "world"?) There is a small debate going on in my mind and at the moment I do not think I am able to do anything with complete (or even partial) detachment. I feel deeply the things I do everyday. Perhaps I am just a bit more sensivite than most. Or maybe I feel too deeply? I am reading a book and there is one line that sort of poked me (as it did the first time I read the book). Are you participating, Ina? You have to participate, Ina.

I don't have any concrete plans this weekend. I may go shooting with my dad tomorrow. If that pushes through, I will be very happy. :)
