When a person can see between good and bad, not rejecting one or seeking the other, then she or he is able to decide without a sense of attachment. In fact, behavior can be more spontaneous when I stop attaching thoughts to the notion of "me".
Does this mean, however, that I go around like an emotionless person? I don't think it has to be that way: for example, someone can be spontaneous and even passionate, yet not attached to a particular view. This is all about giving every situation one's best, given the experiences and ideas one has, without a sense of regret. The point is not to suppress emotions (since that would entail that someone stands to lose something by revealing emotions) but rather to act without attaching those emotions to the self. This way, I see every situation as bringing my own experiences to bear and then trusting that the situation will unfold in a way that everyone is informed by new information and understanding. It's not about one person having the truth while others don't, but it's a kind of natural flow of experiences.
