Why is it hard to let go?

As you no doubt have figured out, human interactions are rather fragile. They extend to so much more than merely talking, seeing, touching and feelings invoked inside. Just about every person values interaction from some form of like being. It's self evident even in society as a whole. For example, as a form of punishment, we isolate law-breakers to serve "Time" away from the population as a whole. Ever wonder what purpose that serves?

Our relationship with the people in our homes, around us, the ones we form friendships with, the ones we don't like too much, and even the ones we do not yet now, play a very important role. Specifically, I will only address the question "Why is it hard to let go."

Parents, Close-Friends, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, Husbands, Wives...what do relationships all have in common?

When we first "mesh" with someone, we evaluate their posture, tone of voice, as well as what exactly we like about them. If someone were to ask you "what do you like about your best friend?", it would take you little time to formulate an elaborate answer to this question. However, if someone were to ask, "What if your best friend were to move to another country and you lost contact with them, how would you feel?" You would probably consider this question cruel, evil, despicable, or just something horrible to think about. Yet, it is a possible reality, but not one often prepared for.

Every close relationship has an invisible energy attracting field that goes widely unnoticed. This field is built through interaction, trust and gratitude. When these three elements are combined, they form an intertwining spiritual bond. The bond is not easily severed/broken, for it is meant to last a lifetime. This bond makes deep rooting memories, historical pointers, and may even drive one to insanity.

When a close-relationship ends, no matter what a person may tell the outside world, they feel an unpleasant feeling inside, that can last for months, or even years. This change in reality often bring people to bitterness, stalking, crying, self-hatred, or even suicide. One may feel a void inside that is seemingly unmendable, a feeling of being un-earthed from a comfort zone of happiness to a desolate place. The depressed and abandoned feeling outweighs the good memories almost all the time, unless one person felt a heavy burden is lifted from them.

For this reason, breakups are hard. This is the reason it is so hard to let go. A spiritual bond is not easily broken, and if you have ever found yourself back with an EX no matter how much you try, or still loving your parents no matter how bad they have treated you, or find yourself moping around in depression after losing a friend, now you know what is pulling at your very spirit.
