Like every other day, I was jogging on a treadmill in the gym, and all of a sudden my iPod froze. I got my iPod a year ago, where I have more than 500 songs and about 30 videos of my favorite artists. I use it in the gym, in the car, at home, and wherever I need to listen to whatever type of music. I had to stop my work out in the gym; I just can not work out with out music. So I went back home, logged into the internet, and surfed the iPod site for the troubleshooting. But still, I couldn’t fix it. So I drove my car to the iCity workshop, the place to fix iPod and other Apple products, explained what happened to it, and I have been told that they will call me whenever the iPod is fixed. Well, I have received the call, and it turned out to be that my iPod can not be fixed, and that I should buy a new one, my iPod is dead.
Anyhow, when I handled my iPod, and went back home, I realized something, something that might or could sound pathetic to some people. I was giving my iPod for fixing like a parent holding his little kid in the emergency room (E.R.) don’t know what was wrong with it and just can not accept the reality of it being out of order!

I realized that I was emotionally attached to my iPod. This little mp3 device, indirectly, controls my mood.
This made me think of what so called "Emotional Attachment". There are people, places, words, matters, thoughts, or even small little things or devices that can have an impact on us and control our emotions and it could be directly and/or indirectly.
But would this behavior be normal or ok?
Is it OK to be emotionally attached to someone or something?
Is it OK for that someone or something to manipulate our emotions and/or feelings out of our control?
Would that someone or something be worth the attachment and the disturbances that may take place with emotions and feelings?
Do all human beings love it when they're emotionally attached to someone or something?
Or is it part of being an Arab or middle-eastern that would make us naturally easy and at risk to suffer from emotional attachments?
Yes suffer, for more than 10 days I had to stop going to the gym, simply because I wasn’t in the mood to work out, due to the lack of music. So this is an un-healthy behavior.
And so, it is important to control our feelings and emotions towards everything in our lives. There are people who passed away because of the loss of their loved ones. They couldn’t go on without the people who shared their lives. So someone could physically die if they lost someone. Others may simply lose their minds if something happened to those they love. And it's all because of the emotional attachment.
This untouchable attachment could cause you death or it could simply make you live happily ever after, although nothing last forever!

Your post made me think, so if it is healthier to control our attachment urge for the sake of preserving our sanity. Then what would be the outcome of getting used to detaching ourselves from things and people that complete our essence?
Most of the time, we attach ourselves to things or people subconsciously and most of the time for no apparent reason, while usually we don’t reckon that fact and sometimes we figure out their importance in our lives when they’re gone!!
I wonder how it would feel if we are easily detachable and someday we make the mistake of detaching something really vital to our lives.
