Too Much

The problem is you care too much.

So much so that you are strangling the joy out of caring.

There is a healthy amount of detachment required toward things you care about.

A simple way to tell when you have tipped over with care is your level of suffering.

When the thing you care about makes you suffer, it is a signal to step back a little.

If you don’t understand the signal, that suffering will become regret.

If you understand the signal, that suffering will become a lesson.
