Let Go

Sometimes
The chase continues
Long after the race has ended

Let go...

..Is in my opinion one of the most profoundly misused phrases of our times. Pedantic and unnecessarily preachy.

We thrust it down the throats of people as a magic remedy that'll cure them of their emotional/psychological ills - the kinds that wake people up at 3 am on a harmless Wednesday night.

While there's no doubt in the fact that the thought behind 'Let Go' is definitely arresting , the entire concept is a bit of a paradox in itself.

Letting go is a means of absolution for most of us - like diving into holy waters to cleanse our putrefied souls. Its a lawful means of getting rid of the unexceptionally heavy mental baggage most of us are carrying around at any point in time.

But to think of it, what's the big deal about Letting Go? What makes me better off 'Letting Go' of something than allowing it to 'Stick up my back' and overwhelm me with its burden.

I would rather hold onto something and beat the life out of it till i can beat no more than give it away at the drop of a hat. What's the fun in it then ? Why would you rather shun experiences than anchor them to yourself , tie yourself around them and get consumed by them?

For most of us, the chase continues long after the race has ended.

For some of us , the real thrill lies in the chase itself

As for me, i wouldnt have it any other way

Pain is pleasure after all, isnt it?
