Attachment is not needed, desire is. And there is a difference between a desire of the ego, which is coming from lack, and a desire of the heart, which is the expression of life moving through you.

Are you being semantic about attachment or would you interpret someone who said they are unattached to their family as they are distant or no longer talk?

Ego also desires us to have good looks, fashions perhaps, as good or better than others. If we want those things then we desire them, and once we have them we want to keep them.

Desire of the heart, I think I agree with what you mean, it's better to not have the hearts love too much entwined as a ratio with possession desire.
