IS SWAMI VIVEKANANDA'S PHILOSOPHY ACCEPTABLE

Since i have been named after this great person who had his and preached his own principles i have read his books.His preachings are all around one basic principle ,detachment.He gives an example of a circle of relations where expectations are indefinite.When a stone is being thrown into a pond,we can see ripples.When we do a deed that somehow forms ripples and are always in the sub-concious level of the mind.And these ripples together form the character.He wants us to love and be detached at the same time.Is this possible??Personally i feel that we indians are at times rather often reffered as sentimental idiots.That is something i am proud of and we all should be proud of.The westerners abandon their child in the name of helping them to face life.They postpone childbirth saying that they arent prepared for it and want to live their life to the fullest.The bonding between the parents and the children,the brother and sister relation,the joint family culture are things we were following once.And with all this happening around and the bond getting stronger each day.How is it possible to be detached.Maybe i haven got it in the right sense and if anyone does do post me.
urs lovingly,
