All our lives, we're only having to let go and move on. School, childhood, the teenage years, classes, simplicity, innocence, health, the 20s, the 30s... unfortunately that is the law of nature.
Why unnecessarily start letting go of things that nature hasn't decreed?
But when the constancy of the struggle to not let go because nature hasn't decreed overwhelms. And its manifestations are ugly. And then you begin to wonder whether nature kinda sorta missed this, and maybe it is best to just let go.
But then again I'm not an authority on anything ... so :D
If the manifestations are ugly and you want to let go, then yes, of course let go. But if you don't want to, then persist. At the end of the day, its about whether you want it, or you don't want it.
And can you not do the "kinda sorta" thing? Only that its kinda sorta bimbo!
Life isn't black and white...it could not be, for as long as we are human, we shall continue to struggle with understanding ourselves. The inability to understand ourselves makes us incapable of making clear and consistent choices. The day we start making flawless choices, is the day we would have reached the level of enlightenment attributed to the likes of Gautam Budhdha, Mahavir and ilk! In the meanwhile, we shall continue pursuing life, with a more mortal and human perspective! Nothing wrong with that is there? So why be troubled by it?
Hehehe...really? Or is it the inability to latch on? Or are they one and the same???
ReplyDeleteOur inability to latch on stems from the fact that we've got too much baggage. Try juggling an overnighter and several suitcases with a laptop bag :D

Some things are meant to be, so strive.
