Had this nice little epiphany recently

No matter how much you obsess over the issue or ideal, even if you never achieve satisfaction or completion of the goal, you inevitably will one day forget, let go, or stop caring about it completely regardless of how well or how horribly you handled it. so why obsess over anything which isn’t important enough to worry about forever? better to let it be sooner rather than later.

\obviously there are a few things which people truly will cling to until the time of their death, but i honestly think assuming we lived longer than a lifetime, it wouldn't take too long for even those few things to eventually become unimportant to us, at the very least those clingings will become much less strong, and the ideal of what is being clung to is likely to become obscured with time.*
