The art of losing

i heard this yesterday from a movie my friends is watching and it caught my attention. the meaning of the dialogue is that the art of losing is easy to master. you may loss something like a keychain but doenst really bother you, you may loss someone but doenst really affect you...the dialogues goes something like that. its like when you master the art of losing you become so detached to everything around you and time will come where everything doesnt mean anything toyou. have you been in this situation where you seems to care less will all the people around you? (i think theres a poem like this...)

I think after so many losses, it is possible to become numb to protect our feelings. It goes along with depression, I think. We have to consciously value the people around us, and allow ourselves to grieve our losses, or we lose some part of our humanity.

i think having this kind of art has its negative and positve effect. we just have to know how to balance.

I think this is the art that I will hardly master no matter how attempt I will try lol!! I was been a very emotional person and no matter how small a thing that belongs to me and get lost wheeww I surely think of it for hours or worst till the next day for If that is really my possesion I have emotional attachement to it. I wish someday I will learn the art so that I will not shed a single tear but for me that's impossible lol!!! Nice discussion my friend.

no, may be if there will be a chance to master something, i wont choose this one. i dont want to be like numb person walking around and doesnt care, ill be like a zombie then. i dont want to be detached with people and things that i owned, those things and people makes me inspired and live life.
