How to capture well-balanced obsessions

From the viewpoint of barrier-free society, “independence means increasing the number of dependents.” Psychology also advocates creating environments and people that serve as safety bases for attachment and going on adventures from there, and creating multiple bases you can rely on in times of emergency. There is also the term anti-dependency.
However, in Buddhism, “getting rid of obsessions” is considered good.
I took a while to think about “increasing light dependency,” but I'm also obsessed, and I thought I wouldn't be able to rely on it in times of emergency. It seems very difficult for me to live without being attached. In Buddhism, there are ideas such as thinking that objects change, distinguishing between love and obsession, and not being attached to not being too attached, but how should obsession be handled in order to live in modern society?

The root of obsession is my rules, my ego, and my rules.

Even if you think “I want to” express that action with the words “obsession or dependency,” what is the “actual state of truth”? It's probably a more lively style that can't be called obsession or dependency.
Don't express anything as an obsession or dependency.
It's a “syndrome where everything is ruined by expressing it in negative critical DIS terms.” It's a psychological trap that ruins the cleanliness of “the thing itself” by “not respecting” the very way things are, expressed in words with a bad meaning, or by relating them to something bad. For example, people can get hedonistic happiness if they only accept the goodness of an idol group, but it's important not to get attached to such words or expressions because it's a mentality where idols themselves know only the dark part and focus only on the bad parts are bad.

This was when I was in the kitchen of an ascetic dojo, and there was a junior and a dashing kid. I don't really get along well with Denza Roshi, who cooks vegetarian cuisine. Everything the teacher does is complacency, he says in a bad way that it is complacency.
Think of all the activities in this world as complacency. They all seem bad, no matter what. That's not a correct, proper language expression.
If you say “complacency,” actions that help people suffering from hospitals and disasters are also actions that blaspheme, slander, and belittle themselves?
The Ten Commandments of Zen also have a commandment called DIS Runa, called the Three Treasures of Unslander, Dispraising and Others, and not destroying the true state or state of things.
If you don't say the true state of things in proper words, express them loosely and call them with different meanings, it becomes a “different thing.” That is the effect of the world's confusion.
So, isn't it okay to force this story to be called obsession or dependency? Of course, there are also things that are actually dependent, adhering, and clumsy. However, it is an expression of mentality, activity, or situation above an “individual.”
To leave an obsession, don't lose your obsession; get rid of your ego, ego, and your own rules first. Since egos that try to keep things that change and things that don't belong to anyone else are obsessions, they become a source of hesitation and suffering.
Obsession and anger are roughly based on my rules.
Rather than forcibly destroying your body in an unsuitable job, you must leave for safety, even if you are called an escape. Facts rather than words play a leading role and are the main characters.

The way of thinking “doing good” creates obsession

“If you want to let go of suffering, let go of obsession”
these are completely different words that seem similar

“When you're hungry, eat a meal”
“Eating is good” is a different word

“If you can stay hungry, you don't have to eat.”

I think the foundation of Buddhism is that “humans are essentially free”
Hope and Obsession, Hope Suffer, Hope Bound, Hope and Die

However, there are so many things I can't see that I'm being held captive without knowing what I want, so it's a story about trying to regain my freedom

“Increasing the number of dependents” is symptomatic treatment
It's a story about people who have become too dependent suffer from that, so let's divide each one into a size that is easy to solve, and it's not the goal
You will suffer as little as the number of small dependents

However, you are free to enjoy suffering, and you are also free to seek suffering
Breaking away from dependency is a tough road
Just as strength training is tough, mental training is naturally a tough road
So, if you want to be dependent without choosing the path to becoming stronger, you can also choose the path of training yourself and breaking away from dependency even if it's tough

Obsessions are natural to the human mind, so you have no choice but to choose your own way to socialize

Little desire and contentment

Wouldn't it be good to keep your obsessions and everything in moderation?
I'm not indifferent, and I'm not devouring it as my own.

Don't refuse life (relationships), don't get attached

Buddha received food and clothing through offerings (gifts) and memorial services (hospitality) from believers.
I was dependent on others because I couldn't live without being given food by walking around the city in alms.
However, even if there were days when no one could receive alms from anyone, the Buddha would not have been angry or disappointed.
Our lives are maintained by the three elements of longevity, body temperature (cells), and consciousness (mind).
Of these, what is life span?
I think longevity is a general term for the various relationships (conditions) that keep that person alive.
Even if one of these things is lacking, food, money, infrastructure, air, sunlight, etc., the lifespan is over, and the body quickly becomes cold, and consciousness gradually drifts away from dead limbs.
The Buddha was not obsessed with longevity, but he lived cheerfully and peacefully until the end of his life span.
I think it is ideal (a way of life with less worry and suffering) in Buddhism to neither reject nor become attached to longevity (relationships with people or outer space that keep you alive).
