to cling to.....

I was observing my mind today and how it works, and I saw how easy is for it to cling to things.....and how difficult to let go....

To cling to ideas, to hurts, to guilt feelings, to images (about others and about oneself), to habits, to memories....

To let go, to move on, to pass page.....

And to observe all this....how we cling to the idea of modifying, of changing what we think is hurtful...it is like a reflex......

Reflexes......very old automatic mechanisms in the mind.......is clinging a reflex?....like breathing faster when moving more?.......

......and the old question.....is it possible to even attempt to modify all this....or the only possibility is to observe it?.........
