From a Zen perspective your are totally correct Maxx. Hiding from the results is not achieving a detached state of mind.

One is the consequence of ignorance, the other the consequence of complete understanding.

However, if in practice a pseudo-detached state can be achieved by hiding the results (albeit by brute force), this may be enough to realise the error our minds/intellects have been making all along. The realisation of this may just well the "realisation" required to escape the so-called "prison of the intellect" and become detached for real (without the need to hide the results).

Any Zen practice has as its ultimate goal the freeing of attachment to "things", and pretty much ANY practice that achieves this is Zen.

Good luck to you all. And hey! the lesson learned can be applied to other bits of your life too....
