I've been told once, that to obtain something, something else needed to be 'sacrificed'. That there is no free gift in the world. For a kid of my age, it took a great understanding to receive this 'shocking' statement.
As time goes by, this fundamental concept prove the truth. We do need to 'sacrifice' something in order to gain what we want. But the problem is, that sometime we found it quite difficult to let go of something, moreover if it related about things that we hold dear.
Just an opinion of mine... I think that when I heard about the term of "let go", what comes to mind is the picture about feeling of loss (for sure), sad, unwilling, and many other unpleasant feelings.
We are born with this nature, to be able to feel an affection toward something. It's natural, and such a great gift in life. Imagine if we, as human being, aren't born in this kind of nature, what a misery world it would be?
But sometime(always sometime...). This gift could turned sour in one way or another, we misuse it by giving to much care toward it, we spent to much time by doing this things, we forgot our main purpose of possessin it in the first place. The object become the master, and the master falls deep into the pit of material or emotional slavery. Perhaps, I used way too extreme words to describe it, but believe me, I've saw many things like that, whether you realize it or not, it happens everywhere, it happened among us...
Imagine, you got a new PSP(just for an example, I'm not saying PSP is bad...lol), or a new iPhone, or netbook, you name it... for your birthday. You were very happy (who won't...lol again), it seems like the world become brighter, more vivid and colourfull. You bring it everywhere, brag about it to anybody you meet(well not that extreme, but at least you got what I mean), bring it everywhere(I've mentioned it before-my bad) even to bed, to the bathroom, school, anywhere. You and that new thing become a soulmate in no time, without realizing it, you have give most of your time with it, the 'new thing', you can't life without it. Now you see! It's wasn't a mere object to you, it already become your master.
Maybe, some of you denied it by saying that I'm exaggerating many things here, but believe me... I'm saying this because I've experience it myself, and sharing it here because I care about you (whoever you might be... But, do believe me! With all of my heart, I do care about you.).
Bible warned us about this kind of situation since ancient time (don't put that kind of face when I'm mentioning about Bible here, read it first then see it yourself whether it teach the truth or just a crap). That human being being threathened by the risk of this kind of slavery(when your life being centered by things, and you feel that you can't live without it). It could be many things; your gadgets, your money, your kids, your life-partner, many things... your job, your hobbies, your desires, and much more(not gonna spend whole day mentioning all of the things).
And what it tells us then? Simple, just as simple as it come, just let it go... Yeah, let it go!(If you put face when you hear the word 'let it go' it means, you allready in it-being enslaved I mean), worry not it never to late to change! Never to late, dear fella... What it take is, just admit that you are imprisoned (if you prefer slavery is way too extreme, imprisoned then...), admit it with all of your heart, and decide to change, to transformed into a better person, a better life, and just as soon as it comes, let it go, just like that... Simple
Yea, simple you say... But, for some people, it is a big fight, a blood-sweat struggle. It's alrite, I can understand it, because you give too much time with it, and your heart linger toward it after all along. I can understand... but it doesn't mean that you can still dwell in that pit, for your own better good, you need 2 be parted with it, sooner or later. The sooner is the best.
What use of it, if you still keep 'chained' 'leashed' to that habit, things, while you walk your daily life? Hey, we're missing many good things that life offers to us, many opportunities, if we just shut ourself from the inside, by spending the time with what that I called 'imprisoning' our life.
So, friend... It is now yours to make, the decision is all your's to make, going to a counselor or taking pills won't cure you, you yourself is the one and only that able to make yourself survive through all of this hindrance.... I pray that you choose the best, pick the right choice, to be a free person, and gained many things from life, rather than just spending yourself with your gadget, or other things that had took most of your time... Be blessed...
