How does one avoid loss in the 1st pplace? Contrary to popular belief, its not attachment that causes loss - attachment feels fine. Its detachment that hurts. Learn to let go. Some of us suggest that to avoid loss, one should never be attached to anything. They give the example of a hand in water... when the hand is removed from the water, the hand leaves no impression. These people say the reason the hands leaves no trace in the water because the water is not attached to the hand. On the contrary, while the hand is in the water, It is very attached to the hand-surrounding,enfolding and embracing it. Why dont u allow urself to experiences life as fully as the water experiences the hand then as completely let it go. Why dont u try that? Its the same theory that Im giving. Yes indeed...The water leaves a lil of itself on the departing hand, as we leave a little of ourselves with the people and thingd we touch, for most part, however, when it comes to go...Let it go. The hand can no more hold the water than the water can hold the hand. Its like u need 2 hands to clap..with only 1 hand..how do u want to clap to make a sound? Logic? Think abt it....
