The Same Dilemma Every Night.......Till When?

"Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go"

Every night I wonder if today’s THE day when I would be able to break free from this dilemma and finally let go but each night I fail miserably. Sometimes it’s the past memories, sometimes future hope, sometimes selfish reasons, sometimes empathy, sometimes the fear of time flying so quickly while at other times, lethargy to look for other options.

Why is it so difficult to let go?

Why can’t we just hang on to it for some more time? Why can’t we?

Why can’t we free ourselves from the shackles of emotions: love, anger, revenge, fear, regret?

Why is it so hard to forgive & forget & move on?

Why does the thought of not being able to see the familiar face, feel that warm touch, hear that sugary voice make you go numb?

Why does the fact of leaving behind your prized possessions bring you to tears?

I know and I completely understand that I shall, under no circumstances, be able to take any of my loved entities (be it humans or inanimate objects) when I leave this earth. I shall be the lone traveler when I leave for that journey. So what good is it to let the attachment grow when you know that it shall bring nothing but pain, tears & misery?

I know it & you know it but still it’s easier said than done, something that will take years of practice, may be. But we at least need to make a start somewhere. Till then, wish me happy tear shedding for many more nights to come…

U never know if these tears someday wipe off my fear of letting go..

Blessed Be
