and Can you LET GO by HOLDING ON?

Answer 2

When I was young and washing dishes, if I would drop a glass and try to grab it, it would most likely crash with increased force into a million pieces. If I would drop the glass and not move , just let it fall, sometimes it would not break at all, or if it did, there would be less of a mess to clean up. Sometimes letting go can be beneficial. It is, however important to take care of details, and this can lead to the feeling that it is possible to control things. Not always true. But I'm off on a tangerine. You are asking about building walls. Brave souls stay open, and laugh at adversity, Some days I'm brave, some days I'm not

Answer 3

It is often a sign of valor to "let go". For instance, some people hang on too long to a relationship, even at the point of harrassing their former partners. That exasperates things even more, and the likelihood of "holding on" to something or someone by that means most assuredly would be reduced to nil. Holding on by letting go is almost like a breach to the other person. If it is an end of a relationship, letting go is the best option for all concerned.

Answer 4

There seem so many ways I could interpret this. If you mean, can you "hold on" (to yourself) psychologically, emotionally, by letting go of something you care about, but isn't working out for you, or wishes to be "let go" of, yes. If you mean sustaining a relationship, I'd say "holding on" implies possessiveness, (even insecurity), & "letting go" is giving the other space. Yes, also. I honestly can't see letting go by holding on in ANY context. I wonder if you have a deeper meaning to that one, & I just can't see it?

Answer 5

I do not think that you can Hold on by letting go, it is unnatural to do. But you can Let Go, by Holding on I think it's common sense, if you let yourself to think things through, it can be done,I let go of my Kids, when they decided to get Married, but I knew they still felt that as a duty they should be more united with us his Parents. So, I let go by Holding on. No, I am not the possessive kind, what kind of Life they would have had if I was clinging to them for no good reason.

Answer 7

Can you hold on by letting go? yes definitely, when you love someone so much yet it 's not working out and you let them go so that the memory of sweet love stays strong and sometimes so does the friendship. I had a past love that was like that we loved each other and was willing to commit to each other but it was at different points in time so we let it go and remain friends to this day. We will always be friends and have that love for each other because we let go.
