Libel: n. willfully and fraudulently stealing the good reputation of a human(s) and/or organization with an untrue recorded public communication(s)

If someone untruthfully writes that you are a liar, a thief, an adulterer, a fraud, or a drug addict and publishes this then they have committed a fraud and can be punished for it in a court of law with a fine. Organizations are sometimes also falsely accused of being liars or frauds and the cases have been brought to court and adjudicated.

Scandal publications can print untruths, lies, or hearsay about public figures and politicians and sometimes get away with it because libel laws sometimes exclude untrue publications about celebrities. Some lies are so outrageous that no one takes them seriously. One scandal sheet published that Dick Cheney is a robot on the front page. The lie is so outrageous and maybe even entertaining that no one takes it seriously and it does not constitute libel.

Defamation or slander can also be verbal lying but frequently a public apology, retraction, or an admission to making a mistake frequently gets the offender pardoned and they are not prosecuted in a court of law for lying.

Businesses, organizations, and corporations are also interested in maintaining a good reputation and if a major publication libels them and it severely affects their reputation then they are frequently sued in a court of law.

Attachment: n. bonding with a subset(s) which is frequently a lifeform(s)

Humans bond with activities, objects, other humans, and lifeforms in general and it is frequently because they care about, love, empathize with, get some pleasure from, get some benefit from, or want to be friendly with what they are bonding with. Attachment to a subset(s) frequently means that humans want to spend time with, want to surround themselves with, keep it close to themselves, and interact with the subset(s).

There is short duration attachment and long duration attachment and if a human continues to get pleasure or satisfaction from the attachment then it generally continues and once pleasure or satisfaction is lost or subsides the attachment gets less intense and frequent and may even be terminated or it ends. Attachment can be thought of as an attraction to a subset(s) and a desire to interact with it which lasts a duration.

Note that some attachments are not pleasant but we remain attached out of financial and/or emotional necessity. We can be attached to a bad job, bad spouse, and supporting irresponsible offspring from which we derive very little emotional satisfaction but do so out of financial necessity or a sense of duty or responsibility.

Attachment is frequently emotionally the most intense if we love the subset(s).

There are degrees of attachment and frequently the greater the attachment the more time, energy, and money you spend on the attachment.
