What is desirous attachment? It is not the same as desire – we need desires, but we don’t need  attachment. Attachment is “dö chag” in Tibetan, which literally means  “sticky desire”. There is a stickiness, neediness, dependency, and  self-centeredness associated with attachment. It’s “I need you to make  ME happy”, as opposed to “I want to make YOU happy”, which is actual  love. Attachment weakens us, and we give away the key to our happiness.  Love strengthens us, and we stay in charge of our happiness.
