#824: Attachment is Greed, Not Love
Think attachment is about love? It’s not. It’s about greed, power, and control. Whether you’re hoarding love, money, or status—it all comes from the same place: feeling empty inside and thinking that getting the thing will finally make you whole.
We excuse behavior in others when we think it benefits us. We make our lives complicated with our own bureaucracy—rules and patterns that keep us stuck on a merry-go-round of grasping for control we never had.
In this episode, Tracy explores:
- Why attachment is really about greed and scarcity, not love
- How hoarding (love, money, status) comes from feeling hollow
- The difference between attachment and actual love
- Living from the inside out instead of filling yourself from the outside in
- Taking emotional risks instead of grasping for control
“We excuse the behavior in others when we think it somehow benefits us.” ~ Tracy Crossley
