Features: To give up the career one has fully devoted to, to let go of some of the hopes in one's heart, and to abandon certain firmly held beliefs – all of this is undoubtedly heartbreaking. However, this heartache should not become an obstacle for people to start anew. When it comes to all things, people cannot truly have absolute control over reality. If one persistently clings to meaningless things and desperately pursues what should be abandoned, then one is destined to lose even more of what they already possess. Many times, life requires people to consciously let go. When one possesses something, they may be losing it at the same time; and when one lets go, they may be gaining something new. Once people actively break free from the shackles of old beliefs, life will present itself to them in a completely new way, bringing the exhilaration of starting from scratch, the rationality to face the flow of emotions, and the acceptance of more advanced ideas.
