Do all parents have trouble letting go?

[Nate Hunter]

I feel that this is because hedonistic behaviour is simply trying to find satisfaction and/or completeness in the wrong way.

Well do you have any ideas to do it in the "right" way?

My personal method is religion, but I know that neither religion in general nor my relgiious beliefs in particular is not a viable alternative to all people. If you do decide to pursue religion, do it for yourself, and not based on what your parents may have tried to influence you to believe. Myself I don't care what religion a person is, theist, atheist, or subscriber to a particular faith, so long as that is a decision they reached for themselves. I find that most people who come to religion as a personal move tend to be more satisfied than those who have it forced upon them by their family, but I can't speak for everyone.

Again, my expression of the statement above is based on my religious views, which are predominantly, but not exclusively, Christian shaped. I believe there's something "missing" in all of our lives that we try to fill in many ways, and that ultimately faith is the only way to fill it. I do not believe that level of satisfaction requires you to be a christian or even to be christian-esque, but simply to have found a faith that is suitable to yourself and your own beliefs concerning life, mortality, and most (or ideally all) of your beliefs, opinions, etc.

I find mine in my primarily Christian faith. You may find yours in another. But generally, nothing in the material world seems able to bring people to that point in life of simple satisfaction the way a solid spiritual life can.

If you aren't doing this to stand out, it might be wise to look into religious or spiritual alternatives to finding ways to feel more "attached" to your body. The above is only my opinion, so please regard it as what works for me, not what WILL work for you.
