Suppose I am attached to something or somebody. Can’t I observe the consequences
of attachment, what is involved in attachment, how that attachment arose? Can’t 
I observe the whole nature of it instantly? I am attached because I am lonely, I
want comfort, I want to depend on somebody because I can’t stand by myself, I need
companionship, I need somebody to tell me, “_You are doing very well, old boy_.”
I need somebody to hold my hand; I am depressed and anxious. So I depend on somebody,
and out of that dependence arises attachment, and from that attachment arise fear,
jealousy, anxiety. Can’t I observe the whole nature of it instantly? Of course I
can if I am aware, if I am deeply interested to find out.
