Sentiment

Everyone has something or the other that they just can't give up on. Maybe toys, maybe a belonging of a beloved one, maybe a member of the family, maybe anything. We just can't give up on them.

Hello all, The Earthian here.

How did we ever get the habit of getting attached? No matter how much we act like we aren't really attached, at the end of the day, we are. No matter how much we deny it.
Why? Well, I can't give you a scientific explanation, but in my mind, it is because of the simple fact that we all are humans.
Don't get me wrong, other forms of life can get pretty attached too, but, our attachment is of a slightly different cause. It's sentiment.

Think about it, how many times did you think before you reluctantly gave away your favourite childhood toys? As a teenager, how did it feel when you graduated from high school, when you were forced to say goodbye to your friends?
It's all sentiment.

Like anything, sentiment too can be both good and bad. Sometimes, you need to leave something behind to make progress. It's all about how long you take to realize that, then. Sentiments too, can get the best of us, if not handled properly.
See, incidents happen all the time, good or bad. If you let your sentiment control your life, hindering progress will not be your only issue. It can also create lack of motivation and hence put an end to your quest to make your dreams come true.

It's all about what we get attached to. I can only say that much. All I know is that I'm attached to this planet and that I won't ever give up on it. I'm sure the world is worth suffering for. Hope you feel that way too.

Will talk soon, peace.
