"Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be attained only by someone who is detached"

This quote by Simone Weil speaks to the concept that attachment to something can result in a false sense of reality. When we end up being connected to something, we can end up being so focused on it that we create an impression of what it is. We can end up being so attached to our own ideas and beliefs that we can no longer see the fact. Weil recommends that the only method to achieve real truth is to be removed from the important things we are attached to. Detachment enables us to look at things objectively and to see the truth without the illusions developed by accessory. Weil's quote motivates us to take a step back and look at things from a different perspective in order to acquire a much better understanding of truth. By being removed, we can gain a clearer view of the truth and make more educated choices.
