The girl with the balloon
The little girl stood beside the bench clutching onto the string attached to the balloon ever so tightly. Afraid that even the tiniest movement or the slightest dip in concentration, will send the balloon flying up high above the heavens. When she will have to wail and whine about the lost balloon to her mum, who couldn't do anything much about it. =(Maybe just maybe, if she had chose to let go of the string, and watch how the balloon gently floats away in the air with glee, she'll be happier.
Isn't life like that in some sense? Sometimes you think it is so rewarding to hold on tight so that no piece of the moment will be lost. And you get so focus about it that you lose track, and you fail to see that sometimes letting go, letting free is a much more meaningful and worthwhile choice.
