Attachment and Belonging
Though experiment:
If you live away from your family and you miss them and you feel drawn to moving back to the area you are from to be near them/others - is that simply unwisely giving into a form of attachment? Another hope based on a desire that will ultimately lead to suffering?
If you practice Buddhism does it matter where you are in the world or who is around you? Or are some situations more conducive to being able to achieve the 8 fold path (barring the obvious exception of monasteries)?
