I wonder if one could suffer from attachment to the desire to not be attached?

What if we just accept unconditionally whatever the moment brings without any restrictions, conditions or limitations? Would that end suffering?

In other words, if you're attached so be it, if you're suffering so be it, if you're not so be it, if you desire then so be it and so on. It seems that the non-acceptance or resistance to the way life actually is could be the main cause of suffering.

Well, it's a subtle and complex thing really, but I agree with this principle. It reminds me of a cool Puppetji clip.
