| Prompt: "The key in letting go is practice. Each time we let go, we disentangle ourselves from our expectations and begin to experience things as they are." Sharon Salzberg What do you think about "letting go"? Is it always a good practice? What does ‘letting go’ really mean? Letting go of the times someone did or said something hurtful isn’t always easy but hanging on to the hurt isn’t doing any good either. Spending precious time reliving the incident or the slur is pointless because the person who did the hurting doesn’t know that’s what you are doing. I remember a very sad and tragic case here when four children, siblings, were walking home on the sidewalk after going for an ice cream, when a drunken driver mowed them all down and killed them outside their home. The parents were obviously devastated beyond belief but a few weeks later outside of the court where the driver had been sentenced, the father told the media he had forgiven him. He said to not do so would bring him and his wife nothing but a life full of hatred and they chose to let go. They have since been blessed with two more children. Money that was collected by the community, to help with the funerals, they used to pay for playground equipment in a memorial park to remember their beloved children. |
