On the other hand… letting go, emotionally speaking, may not be as beneficial as advertised.
We might lose some bitterness but we might become more liable to ‘repeat the experience’
As in …
Forgive but don’t forget is a lot easier to be said than done, you know…
Which brings us to:
Do we really need ‘a purpose’?
As in ‘an ideologically determined goal’?
Remember Marx’s “The philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.”. Then the consequences produced by those who had followed Marx’s teachings…
But not only Marx’s!
All set goals which go ‘against the grain’ incur costly consequences.
Which are detrimental to survival! Of the leading trespasser, of those in the following or of those hapless enough to be too close to that particular goal being pursued.
Remember Marx? Nothing unpleasant had happened to him. Not as a consequence of his attempts to change the world! But to others…
Which is equally valid for all other ‘world changers’. Along with all ‘world preservers’ who run along ideologically drawn paths.
Then what should we strive for?
Simply ‘follow the heart’ to achieve ‘peace of mind’?!?
Would that be enough?
Enough for what?!?
