Attachment in Buddhist terms is not identifying something outside of ourselves and then by an act of will struggling against it.
Attachment in Buddhist terms is seeing ourselves as a solid and permanent entity who defines themselves by things external to themselves..whatever those things might be .
Equanimity in Buddhist terms is not indifference to all things equally.
Its seeing that all things are changing and that all attachment will pass.
Its avoiding clinging and avoiding aversion....both.
