nibbāna is the goal. in this life. no more rebirth.

i live in a detached way. of course, it is a gradual process so there are lapses into reactive emotions, desires, etc.

generally speaking, i make life choices in a desireless state of mind. the first sutta [upādānasuttaṃ] quoted on my site deals with this. pursuing pleasures in this that and the other leads to craving, clinging, becoming... keeps the cycle in motion; the opposite way leads to cessation of craving, clinging, becoming... to nibbāna.
