Emotional Detachment...
Very truly spoken. But it is difficult to be emotionally detached from a conversation, especially when one feels he or she has been offended. Does one simply allow another to continue saying offensive things or be misinformed at the expense of being misunderstood or considered too weak to be able to hold one's own in an argument? Does a person not have a right to stick up for themselves when they feel they have been slighted? Objectivity, where one gives others the right to speak their minds without harassment, is different from emotional detatchment, where one does not argue, debate, or explain their own opinion.
The world is an unreasonable place which runs on emotion, and emotions do not allow us to have a clear mind in many situations, however this is not necessarily a bad thing. Many times you can repress your opinion and your emotions, and I think that's really physically bad for your health. You need to say what you feel. You need to listen to your heart. I agree that there are times when you can get snappy if people seem to be butting into your business, and you may regret it later when you know that they were only trying to help, but honestly, sometimes listening to other's opinions doesn't necessarily help anyway. They can give bad advice as well as good advice, and they can not understand what it is that you are going through. Actually, I don't really know that emotional detachment is that right word to describe what's best in these situations. I think you need to with draw from the situation, but mentally, emotionally you should express yourself so that you can allow yourself to dig deeper into what you really want and what you really FEEL will be the best thing. Logical reasoning doesn't always work, sometimes you just need to follow your heart. And if it turns out to be the wrong thing, I find that you still feel alright about it because it feels like the right thing and you think that there must be a reason for why things turn out the way they do, and you use the oportunity to learn from your mistakes and wisen yourself from the experience.

I would like to find a job somewhere in the UK (although I would consider other parts of Europe) because I want to live and work abroad for at least a couple of years. Only problem is, I will need sponsorship from a company as I'm a US citizen.

out of curiosity, how many of you have cheated on your boyfriend/girlfriend?
Ever wondered why you sometimes seem to be able to give such sound advice to others but never yourself...?
Seriously...how many times have you seen a outside situation heading in direction "X" as plain as day to you but the people in question don't.
So now I'm thinking...Hmmm...why is that...how can a posistion of detatchment bring forth truths that being involved seems to mask or hide...?
The answer to a question often lies in the question itself...so...
What if I spin this 180 degrees...kinda like be on the other side of the fence because there are always two sides to a fence and every story for that matter...in other words...
How many times have I been heading for situation "X"...? How many times have I been wrong...? How many times have I lost my temper with people for caring...scolded their concern or asked them to mind their own damn business...said...
"this doesn't concern you...don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong"...only to find out that further down the line I am biting my lip and asking their forgivness because I should have atleast accepted to consider their effort to help.
Emotional detachment from a situation is often the clearest mind to have. There are no hopes to hold onto, no dreams to wish come true and no expectation born from an innate desire to own in this material existance on planet earth.
Next time you get advice from the outside...please atleast try and consider it.
Recently I should have, but yet more emotion stopped me...and now the saga is over and I am once again detached I see with open eye's again.
pride, hope and expectation are states of mind that can either pull you through the hard times or bring you crashing down to earth when you deny the signs the world puts before your eye's and ears every day.
The cosmos is a just and fair balance of good and bad, light and dark, wet and dry...how and exactly we fit into that picture through the grace of God is quite up to our own will...
It is my will to listen...it is my will to see so why then should I ever shun what my life presents before me...
I ask you all...especially in times of strife, worry and pain...please be more receptive, use what you know to guide you but never...NEVER...deny anything it's own significant importance in some way shape or form...
My your way be one of light...
