Answer to Question 1

What you are doing will ultimately benefit you.

Answer to Question 2

Attachment is an ineffective method of responding. Attachment/rightness occurs when we clutch emotionally to ideas, concepts, or situations. We carry the attitude that we are right and that we know what is best for us or someone else. When we attach ourselves to opinions, to ideas, and to how we think things ought to be, we find ourselves in arguments. We mistrust people who do not think as we do. We are disappointed when our expectations aren't met. People who respond with attachment to events tend to become quickly anxious, angry, and fearful. Their need to be right supersedes their desire to be happy. When things aren't as they ought to be, they get angry and tense. They translate being wrong to a loss of self-esteem.
