What brings pain isn’t just the loss itself—but our resistance to it We suffer not because something ends, but because we believed it wouldn’t. The quote you can only lose what you cling to provides profound insight into human nature and the source of pain It is often attributed to the buddha. The quote says that we only lose what we cling to What it really means is we’re only capable of losing things that we hold on to
“you only lose what you cling to.” 6 No one can walk your path for you “no one saves us but ourselves No one can and no one may We ourselves must walk the path.” 7 Happiness never decreases by being shared
“thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. You can only lose what you cling to.” — buddha Letting go of hang ups is a huge part of buddhist philosophy When you realize the impermanence of everything around you, you begin to let go and enjoy the world for what it is This is a lesson i reminded myself of daily when i end my meditation Throughout our lives, so many of us naturally attach ourselves to relationships, material.
