The most difficult thing to do is to let go!
"Take hold lightly; let go lightly. This is one of the great secrets of felicity in love"
"Courage is the power to let go of the familiar"
Quotes like these can be found in abundance in books, on the world wide web and through the mouths of people we meet day to day.
No one has something substaintial to say about letting go of a lie. It is so easy to let go of the truth. It is blatantly and if the truth is tasteless then just chuck it aside. If it is tasteful then take it.
What if truth is all but a lie. A lie built on deception, manipulation, misleading words being exchanged, misperceptions based on unguided codes of sharing with a hidden agenda?
Sure, for the sender it's easy to know what's real and what's not. For the receiver, everything that was true became a whole cloudy grey. To let go of a lie is to let go of the truth. To let go of the truth is to first and foremost come to the understanding, realization and acceptance that everything wasn't real when in actual fact feelings, memories and physical items point out that yes something did take place.
My story of always wanting to carry too much. My spiritual quest, the painful process of learning to let go of things not essential.
