When to cling on and when to let go.

much of what we cherish ,we tend to cling on as we are attached to our desires.so clinging on to our possessions whether our material belongings,our loved ones or our cherished hair and appearance is a part of being human. it takes a lot of wisdom and self realization to let go of our grasping or attachments to things and people.somehow there is a lightness of being when we let go of the emotional baggage that weighs us down. as long as we keep looking for someone to make us happy,we will not be happy as we are dependent on external conditions but when we decide to put others happiness before our own,then unconditional love is inspirational.when the happiness of the other matters more than your own,that is selfless love.it is love that rises above the human ,love for humanity frees rather than enslaves the soul.so some give up their freedom to free their people from the clutches of dictators.in life,when one door is closed,another door will open.only by letting go of the past,then only can we invite the future to come into our lives.
