Glad you liked. Its truly experience talking because I actually tried to reach the place of no pity in my teens and 20s in the very manner I now say is not correct. I tried not to love my family or friends because I thought such feelings were attachments (burdens) for the warrior. I basically descended into hell! I'm sure some may say I just didn't do it right, I say I did as suggested, be ruthless, and it was not worth it. One thing I learned was while I was busy being ruthless, those people who I was trying to not care about where caring for me and I was just ignoring it as if they were not. The idea we can separate ourselves from others is just an idea but try putting it into action and it just doesn't work nor produce the effect of freedom as perceived.
