I had a chat with my brother-in-law this morning where he shared a story about a documentary he did on “Death” where he interviewed those in their last moments, and everyone of them had regrets of not letting go.
⠀
Not letting go of grudges, of beliefs that prevents them from loving fullest. Not forgiving.
⠀
I know you can't bring love to the nether world and when the time comes, it's between you and maker and the rest don't matter.
⠀
But isn't it a waste not to make good right now what can be good because of your ego?
⠀
And then you try to make good at the end of your life?
It may be a little too late then.
⠀
Or people who re-found religion at a later age - If you can forgive yourself for not being religious to start with, why can't you be forgiving and compassionate towards others?
⠀
It's a constant work to keep reminding ourselves let go of what does not serve us , so we suffer less and be more joyful.
And then when we have to leave, know that we have left with the goodness of all hearts and it's gonna be ok.
