Acceptance is the advanced discipline of embracing one’s own flaws and others’ follies with a bitter smile. It is a marathon of swallowing inner screams daily to preserve social harmony. A performance art in which one plays the sage who concedes all, stroking hidden thorns in the depths of the heart.

Attachment is the emotion of treasuring something as if it were part of oneself, yet in reality it is a chain forged by anxiety. We cling to people and objects for comfort, blind to the fact that we sacrifice our freedom. Every farewell carves a hole in the heart that we vow to fill again, even as we fear its return. Attachment is a sweet poison, an inescapable cage gilded with affection.

The attraction stage is the relationship limbo where mutual interest is tacitly acknowledged yet actionable steps are perpetually deferred. In this buzzword-laden ritual, vast resources go into measuring proximity and crafting personas. At its core, it’s a clash of instinct and self-awareness, with neither party truly embracing the other’s flaws. Ultimately, tension and anticipation neutralize each other, turning the phase into a collaborative device that stalls further progress.
