    The views of the Jedi were written from one interpretation of Buddhism’s views on attachment, in that attachments inevitably lead to suffering. Though that’s probably more a mistranslation and I think it’s more “dependence” instead of attachment: it’s ok to have relationships and to love and care about other people, it’s just when your happiness or well-being is dependent on others or on some thing that suffering is the result. Though that’s just one view, and there are of course many, many interpretations.

      The idea also exist in Catholicism that you can’t fully devote yourself to the way if you have too much attachment, hence monks and nuns isolating themselves and priests not allowed to marry.
