Suffering and detachment

Lord Krishna killed Kansa because Kansa had imprisoned his parents. Lord Rama killed Ravana because Ravana had kidnapped his wife.

Neither Rama nor Krishna killed Ravana or Kansa simply because they were “bad people.” They had deeply personal reasons to fight them—love, loyalty, duty, and attachment to their own loved ones.

Rama and Krishna were not on a mission to cleanse the world of every brutal or immoral person. Yet, when their own parents, wives, and loved ones were threatened, they took up arms and went to war. In those wars, many people were killed because of their attachment to those they loved.

This raises a difficult question:

If Rama and Krishna themselves fought wars because of their attachment to their loved ones, why does the Ramayana and especially the Bhagavad Gita teach us not to be attached to our loved ones?

If attachment is the problem, why was attachment to parents, spouses, and family such a powerful motivation in their own actions?

Perhaps the deeper teaching is not that we should stop loving or caring for our loved ones. Perhaps the distinction is between love and attachment—between protecting someone out of dharma and acting out of selfish possession, fear, or desire.

But if that is the explanation, then we have to honestly ask: Where exactly is the line between love, duty, and attachment in the actions of Rama and Krishna themselves?

That, to me, is a much more interesting question than simply saying, “The scriptures tell us not to be attached.”

Angel number 20

I am seeing the number 20 every day, many times throughout the day. It has been almost 7-8 years but not sure if its just my mind or there's any logic behind it.

Wellbutrin and Laxapro combo

I have been dealing with my Anxiety for a long time, and it has already taken my life away from me. I am in my mid-40s, and so far I have tried Lexapro, Wellbutrin, and Buspar. Lexapro worked very well, but I stopped taking these meds due to my RLS. It worsened my RLS, and I was not able to sleep at all for many nights. I switched to Wellbutrin, but it gave me panic attacks. Switched to Buspar but didn't notice any significant difference. Now, I wanted to try Lexapro and Wellbutrin together as a combo. Not sure if anyone has ever tried this and what are your experiences and suggestions, I welcome all your suggestions/feedback.

I have been suffering mentally and physically for a long time. My gut health is at an all-time low, and I have been on Anxiety/depression meds for quite a long time, but have not recovered at all, neither mentally nor physically. The frustration grows when all tests are negative, but still your gut is crying for help.

Can you please look at my chart and tell me what's going on and when things will get normal?
