Regreeen. Explain why you think attachment cannot be an outcome of some fear.

I think attachment is at first assuming you can expect something to stay constant and attaching it to yourself, in an attempt to create a constant "I" or identity. Expectation is not truth, however, because truths nature is that of a relative one much like our nature is to be in relation to good and bad. Therefore, One can then either attach out of fear or love, it is at nature both, but in truth only love because fear of expecting that you will not be an 'identity' is irrational considering that we are inifite and simple are, will never be.

You can certainly have habituated responses to fear, to the apprehension of threat.
Of course this happens.
It may figure strongly in the multimillion year evolution of the associative abilities of brain and mind.
However, most of what we are seeing in attachment is mere associative stickiness.
Things happened together or they are alike in some way so that when one arises in mind the other arises next.
It forms chains.
Chains bind
One may wish to be free of the automatic nature of this.

Stickiness - there is a kind of relief or fluidness taken because we are alive and while following diurnal rhythms and tending to the raft of bodily needs, plenty of variance modulates the flow so that stickiness does not just become stuckedness.

Someplace in the middle of that we can steer – creating habits that support more flow and pausing when habits that are unsuitable seem prone to overtake the rudder.
