You can't let things go!

You hold on to your beliefs, your knowledge, your perspectives, your personal needs and goals, your desires, the things you like and don't like - all as if you were holding on to a baby.

You can't let that baby go.

So you choose to hold on to it for your whole life. The baby grows, and you are still holding on. It's bigger, heavier, creating more problems, habits, then it seeks happiness, stability, wealth, health, and all of it. But it's everything to you. And anything that threatens that baby is warded off, defended, protected. Sometimes at any cost.

Until the final day, when you know you have no choice but to stare at it right in the face and realize that life is none of that.

Must we wait until our physical death to discover what life is really about? Why not question if psychologically, what would be the outcome of dying today?
