I feel something I haven't felt in a while: ennui.

To me, this is a physical and emotional response to some changes in things to which I am attached.

Of course.

Attachment (aka desire, expectation, possession, and so on) always causes pain and suffering, thanks to its object's impermanence. I am not attached to much, but what attachments I have are strong to the point of... painfulness.

No attachment, no matter how strong, lasts forever, right? My attempts to hold onto things, to manipulate things, is the source of this dissatisfaction. I do it all the time, except when I play or meditate (same thing?).

So it goes.
