Detachment

Lack of willfulness or emotional concern. Detachment through ascetic denial (or, failing that, aesthetic contemplation) was proposed by the great pessimist Arthur Schopenhauer as a method of responding to the fact that life is filled with frustration due to our incessant irrational desires. Schopenhauer’s answer is similar to that of the ancient philosophy called Stoicism, which also teaches that most of our passions are irrational and are best ignored through the detachment and commitment to reason.
