There can be no certainty in this life
we can lose everything we possess but that can happen no matter our attempts to stop it
I’m reminded of all the recent natural disasters. People had everything in order; and, with little warning lost it all to floodwaters or firestorms.
I’m reminded, too, of the importance of holding everything and everyone loosely; for to hold on too tightly is to risk irrevocable emotional devastation.
There’s a saying: What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.
Being blindsided by life; and, for many, losing it all, is a true testament to this statement.
Thanks for sharing!
Peace.
The reverse side of holding on is the manipulation and harm we are willing to inflict onto others in order to keep. it.
Hmmm...interesting thought. This means the harder the person fights to have, the more resistance they're met with.
I think this is called a tug of war; except, in this case the real winner is the one who let's go.
There's nothing more freeing to self; than, letting the one who wants to be free...be.
Peace.
