Today, our identity is tied up with how much money we have, what schools we went to, our status in society, the status of our family and friends, power, influence etc.
We build a life and we become emotionally attached to it, so much so that sometimes we resort to destructive behaviour to keep what we have, our money, power, influence etc. We don't want to let go of what we have so we fight to keep it.
This life is an illusion, smoke and mirrors, there's nothing there. Things are not what they seem and we have to let go of our attachment to the things of this life.
We shouldn't be afraid to let go of everything that we have and everything that we know. We shouldn't be afraid to lose our jobs, our wealth, our money, our families, our power etc.
If we connect with each other in mutual concern and responsibility, and we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves, we'll find a new family among us and we'll be fulfilled in a new way. But we have to let go of our old selfish ways in order to make room for this new life.
Do not be afraid to let go. Do not be afraid, God is with us.
