So, if that is the case, then if you actually value something - love, or good, or selfishness - be that, and be it to the whole of your ability. It will fail you, and you’ll have to move on. Be it until you can let go without having to shove it away. It will be an option for you - something you’re familiar with, that you can draw upon, genuinely, when it fits.

Do this enough, and the love grows, and you see why love is. Not only that, you’ll start to see the massive impact that the mentality you project has on the actual events you run into in life - and once you see it, you gain more insight into it, and how to work with life, love, etc, including when to stand against it.

Rage on.

I don’t think I’m quite understanding what you are saying.

What exactly do you think I need to do? Let go of what? What is “it”?

I’m saying that if you believe there is no all-loving, all-knowing, etc god/force/nature to the world, then just live whatever your best ideals are. Love, goodness, selfishness, hate, rage at a bullshit god - it doesn’t matter. Each will fail. But the experience of living that ideal, consciously, is valuable.

“It” is the ideal, or principle, or perspective you live by, and invest your time and energy into. But I don’t think you need to do something specific. I don’t think a person can intentionally let something go until they’ve lived enough of it, and that can’t really be rushed or stopped.
