Are you looking at their profile again at midnight? Your mind says "it's over," but your heart won't close the door: "Maybe they'll change," "Maybe one more time"... Two and a half thousand years ago the Buddha told his students about a traveler who crosses a river on a raft – should he lift the raft onto his back on the far shore and carry it everywhere? In this conversation we talk about being unable to leave a relationship that should end, the difference between attachment and love, the fear of wasted effort, and the art of saying goodbye.
📖 Sources in the video:
• The Buddha, Alagaddupama Sutta (The Simile of the Snake, Majjhima Nikaya 22): the parable of the raft – the raft is for crossing over, not for holding on to.
• Yunus Emre: "Owner of goods, owner of lands; where is their first owner? Goods are illusion, lands are illusion; you too, linger a while."
💬 Which raft are you carrying on your back: a person, a habit, a past? What would be your first small step to thank it and leave it on the shore? Share in the comments; no one is judged here.
Open road, light load, my dear friend.
