Letting Go

In a recent interview, Eason Chan mentioned that one of the thing he learned lately is that in everything you do, you need to learn to let go. Whether it is circumstances, people, or anything, you have to learn to let go.

Do we ever really let go of anything? If you must tell yourself to let go, then this thing must have had some meaning and significance to you. Perhaps your mind can constantly tell you to forget about it, but will your heart let you? Can you really put it down completely? Or do we merely try to fool ourselves because it's the only choice we are given, because it's the only way we can maybe reduce the pain?

I cannot do it.

I tell myself it doesn't matter. I tell myself not to care. But it is all a lie. Somewhere inside, I do care, and it does matter. I am merely trying to fool myself.

I tell myself to put it all aside. I tell myself to let go. But how do you put something down when it has had such an impact on your life?

The whole world is hoping that I will just give it up. But give me an honest answer......have you been able to put it down yet? How can you expect me to do it when even you cannot?
