Letting Go

Came across this article recently.

Anybody ever held onto something for longer than they should have? It could be a share, a fund, a job, a car, a friendship and even a love-relationship.

And have you tried to let it go or considered letting it go, to no avail?

Good news folks. Don’t blame yourself. Well, part of it is a lack of self control and super discipline. So it is ok. There is a scientific explanation to it.

Apparently, it’s all psychological. Hmm…isn’t it all?

I suppose Western researchers from the scientific community just keep on looking for new ‘scientific’ reasonings to explain why we do the (negative) things we do. While those with a shallow and superficial knowledge of religious faith will attribute events to God’s will/grand plan for us.

Either way is not right as it partly takes the blame and responsibility for our actions out of our hands. That way, we are merely making excuses, and eventually get to blame everything on everything else but our lack of self control and flawed decision making process.

There was a comic strip (Calvin n Hobbes...my favourite!) where Calvin and Hobbes were discussing how there was a grand plan by God and there was a concept such as fate…hence it is good to know that we didn’t CHOOSE to do the bad things we do, just that it was part of some plan or fate…hence we cant be punished for it as it wouldn’t be fair. And he said it is reassuring to know that.
