Behind every attachment we have, there is fear.
Behind every attachment we have to money and possessions, will be the fear of loss.
Behind every attachment we have of prestige, is the nagging fear of what others think of us.
Behind every attachment for thirst of power, feeds the fear that others may be stronger.
Every self-centered desire brings the fear that we may not get what we desire.
