I say tie me to the earth as tightly as possible, let me enjoy my life and not deny myself one ounce of earthly pleasure. And if I get reincarnated afterward, so much the better, because then I'll be able to do it all again.

Buddhism places such an emphasis on detachment because it originated in a poor part of the world where life was just a matter of subsistence and suffering (as viewed in the eyes of Siddharta Gautama). Therefore, people didn't want to keep living the lives they had there, and would rather not exist. Buddhism should have no place in the mind of a person who is able to enjoy his life.
