I often wonder if the ability to let go of a person, an idea, a belief or anything that you have ever cherished is a skill or something which you just do. Why is it that some people can have an expressed belief and seemingly overnight are no longer committed to that belief. It's like loving someone....let them go and walk away...great but how do you stop loving them?
I have distant relative who is a devoted Christian. While that doesn't seem like an issue, except in the 20 years I've known him he has been devoted to at least 2 other major religions. How did he do that? Did he wake up one day and decide to believe in a different God? Does a person learn to move on like you learn accounting or is it in your DNA?
Does that belief in a religion or faith go away or morph into something else? In the case of love, do you really stop loving someone or does it lay dormant waiting for a flicker of interest in hopes of rekindling?
The act of letting go or moving on is something we all do everyday! A disagreement with a spouse or co-worker, the decision to buy or not buy a particular outfit for a big event or the decision to walk away from a relationship (for any number of reasons) and sometimes it can be as complex as the decision to alter your person faith - because you need all the help you can get to make it through the day, week, month or even life! Although we let go and move on everyday...sometimes, it's not always easy...we just do it!
