strings detached

A person with "strings detached" is essentially free; completely lacking obligations, or responsibilities. No strings attached. A possible negative consequence of fully living with strings detached is that isolation can develop in relation to others. Detachment from life in general can be crippling. Simply put, if you don't need to take part in life, and you can avoid most aspects of it, you become less involved in the unfolding of the universe and become disconnected from it in ways that can keep you from actually living life. You may actually lose part of yourself by losing part of your place in the Universe; Separating yourself from everyone and everything can make it as though you almost don't exist. Once you realize there is nowhere to hide, you begin to wonder what you are hiding from. You can unplug... but eventually you have to plug back in. The world keeps moving while you're unplugged. The "Universal One" moves on with or without you. It is possible to get left behind. Separateness can grow. It may be hard to reverse.
