Is

I used to think that 'letting someone go' doesn't make sense. I mean, if you've carefully selected the people whom you've decided to keep close to you, then these relationships are meant to transcend all boundaries. Isn't letting go of something with so much potential not doing justice to it at all? 

Maybe i still think this way; i try to be rational about things but beneath it all i am still the same person wanting to hold onto my ideals. There is a disjunct between what i should think, and what i do think. I used 'used to think' because i do not fully believe in committing to such ideals anymore.

This morning i submitted a response paper, a review of 'the death of ivan ilych' by leo tolstoy. It asks of us to accept what is. A dying man realises it is not about the end of life, but the end of death. Death simply is. 

It simply is existence, is there a need to live up to ideals we create when everything will eventually crumble? The crumbling does not need to occur.
