Peace begins when you stop trying to control what was never yours to control. Let what comes, come. Let what stays, stay. Let what leaves, leave. You can love deeply without clinging, and care without losing yourself. Sometimes, the greatest freedom is learning to let life unfold without fighting every change.

Few are the people
who reach the Far Shore.
These others
simply scurry along
this shore.But those who practice Dhamma
in line with the well-taught Dhamma,
will cross over the realm of Death
so hard to transcend.

If we don't critically analyze things, we become lost in a world of make-believe that has very little correspondence with reality. Shantideva compares self-obsession and its attendant conflicting emotions to a demon:
"All the harm with which this world is rife, All fear and suffering that there is, Clinging to the "I" has caused it!
What am I to do with this great demon?!?"The Buddhist definition of a
demon is something harmful."The Practice of LoJong"

The article decries detachment, criticizing how "we act as if anything sincere or effortful is cringe"—yet detachment is far from a natural stance and itself requires effort, mindfulness, and care (cf. #Buddhism). As such, detachment is not synonymous with apathy; though the author uses those terms interchangeably. Similarly, detachment isn't a "reflex" and it neither "is safe" nor "risks nothing." For example, some people who try it become "vulnerable to embarrassment" due to relative emotional unavailability, maybe leading to social rejection. Indeed, JA Westenberg almost gets close to recognizing that, claiming that detachment makes us "lose the capacity for earnest connection."
Contrary to what JA Westenberg implies in the main, sincerity and detachment aren't opposites. Rather, the opposite of detachment is more like élan—that terrific word the author uses. Furthermore, both detachment and élan might be sincere or might not. Both detachment and élan might come from "conviction" or might not. And both detachment and élan might exude "joy" or might not. Yet for detachment, the conviction or joy could be fairly quiet: like that of taking a long, solitary hike. I believe the key is whether we adopt an attitude of either detachment or élan primarily for show (to influence how others see us, which JA Westenberg wisely opposes doing) or for deeper, non-performative reasons.
