Letting Go To Bring Closer There is a thought that sometimes you need to let someone go in order to make them come back. Want to come back. On a smaller scale of things I am coming to understanding of the power of letting loved ones do things we ultimately don't want them to do. There is a better way to make someone do what's right than arguments, ultimatums and guilt trips. You just need to carefully show them the alternative and wait till they pick the path themselves. You'd be amazed how often it would be the right one.
