Cutting people off and letting them live with whatever delusional story suits them best, is true peace.
This isn't about malice or indifference; it's about recognizing the limitations of our influence and the importance of preserving our own well-being.
We often exhaust ourselves trying to force others to see the truth as we perceive it, a truth often colored by our own biases and experiences.
This struggle, this constant push against the tide of another's reality, is a battle we can never truly win.
The peace found in letting go isn't passive; it's an active choice.
It's a recognition that we cannot control others' beliefs or behaviors, only our own responses to them.
It's about setting boundaries, not out of anger or resentment, but out of self-preservation.
It's about choosing to protect our energy and mental health from the draining negativity of futile arguments and unyielding disagreements.
This isn't about abandoning those we care about; it's about accepting the painful reality that sometimes, the best we can do is to wish them well from a distance.
It's about understanding that their happiness, or at least their perceived happiness, may not align with our own vision for them.
And in accepting that, in choosing to release the burden of their delusions, we find a profound and lasting peace.
It is a peace born not from apathy, but from a hard-won wisdom: the understanding that sometimes, the truest kindness is letting go.
