Even in the Lore, we find that the attachment rule is "silly".
It helps cause the demise of the universe. Anakin was constantly being told that he couldn't love... Look how that turned out.
But, look to the New Jedi Order, and we see that they were encouraged to love.

And a Jedi Knight was forced to kill her Sith brother... that didn't work out so well either. :laugh:

Marijuana, B&D, and S&M Jedi wedding ceremony... just a thought.
Attachment to material goods seems to be the main issue that people have. I love my car, my house, my tv, my iPhone, and I'm willing to murder other people or watch them die so I can keep it. I turn a blind eye to child slave labour so I can have a microsoft mouse for a little less money.

"Obsessive/unhealthy attachments" are what we are wanting to avoid... In my opinion...
My wife, kids, family, phone, house, car, TOTJO, martial arts, and a whole lot more.... lol...
The inanimate objects are the easiest (should be) to let go...
Then, choices would have to be made...
I love my daughter, but, I had to divorce her mom.... For my mental health....
Long story... lol, aren't they all when of this type?
When an attachment forces a "questionable" decision....
A decision that would seem counter to "normal" thought processes....
That "normal" thoughts might deem as detrimental to the well being of something or "someone"...
Then it becomes "unhealthy" or "obsessive" attachment....
And should be avoided....
