attachment is the cause of all suffering.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't you feel attachment to all those you love?, or do you think personal fulfillment is more important?

[/ QUOTE ]

I feel attachment to those I love yes, and I don't value personal fulfillment, or at least, I try not to. Attachment is the cause of suffering, but suffering is not the only thing that results from attachment. Also, I don't think love and attachment need to interweave nearly as deeply and directly as suffering and attachment do.
