Sometimes we need to let go of that which is holding us down. It can be very hard to let go, especially when you have an emotional attachment.
You must ask yourself, in letting go, will it positively impact you? Will you be better off in the long run, by letting go? We find that most of the time, the answer to this question is "yes", and only due to the fact that we needed to let go, because that which was holding us down was something negative, and therefore not beneficial to us in any way possible.
We need to reevaluate what it is that we call "positive" in our life. One must understand that every meaningful interaction we have, not only with others but with ourselves must thoroughly be grounded in the basic meanings of the word "love". When we hold onto that which holds us back, depresses, saddens, or causes us to feel negative, that there is in fact no love involved. One can not truly say they are loving themselves when they allow such negativity to be present in their life.
There is no love of ones self, nor is there often any love for those around us, as well as those whom we do love, when we do not at first allow ourselves to love "us" from within. One does not truly love when they hold onto a negative, no matter what it may be.
It is upon this understanding and realization about living right, that we must realize the other part to this puzzle. There is no point in living life if you are not going to love everyone around you with at least the most basic love for another human being. One must learn to therefore face anger knowing that anger its self is only an unheard crying out to be loved. Therefore, we must face anger not with equal amounts of anger, but with undivided love, compassion, and attention.
This is never easy to do, nor should it be expected to be, as this requires one to let go of all other emotions and feelings they may have, and be in an "emotionless" state of mind. Let nothing impact your basic love for that person or persons as other humans on this earth, and then proceed forward with an open heart, open ears, and open arms.
"The only emotion worth learning, is to be 'emotionless'. There are times at which in giving nothing, we gain all"- G.H.
