Obsession is a primary cause of suffering.
We cling to what feels good and to pleasant moments, wishing they could last forever.
But good emotions inevitably change, and the conditions and environment that created those moments shift as well.
Our own preferences, interests, and values naturally evolve over time.
For example, the objects and activities we cherished in childhood often lose their appeal as we age.
If we hold too tightly to memories of the past and refuse to let go of who we once were, it can prevent us from fully engaging with the
present.
Becoming entangled in memories can lead to identity crises and self-inflicted distress.
Accepting change as it is allows us to live in the present, free from attachment.
When we release our obsessions, suffering gradually fades away.
