The emotions involved in attachment include anger toward, and hatred and fear of, that which threatens, or seems to threaten, our continued enjoyment of liked objects; volatile love of that which produces such enjoyment; jealousy/envy of those who possess attributes which, if we only had or could gain them, would produce happiness in us; short-term, conditioned happiness when these desires are satisfied, greed for more objects of attachment, frustration at the thwarting of desire, and sorrow when these objects are taken away; and the willingness, then, to harm others in order to secure our own egoic happiness.
Dissolving the emotional reactions to the egoic likes and dislikes then in no way leaves one bereft of feeling, but rather clarifies and enhances it, removing the generally discoloring and clouding effect of biased personal tastes.
Inwardly always renouncing everything, devoid of desires within and performing externally what is to be done, the yogi remains perfectly equable.
Yoga-Vasishtha
