I find myself wondering what is the more difficult task--to hold on, or to let go?

I think letting go is harder, because it seems like you're giving something up, and no one likes to surrender.

i think you're right...

I disagree, holding on is harder.
When the question is whether to hold on or let go, you know that what youre holding onto is killing you, but you do it anyway.
Its a horrible form of self-punishment. Think of it like clinging to a balloon on a rather blustery day. Anyone could just let go of the balloon and not deal with the hassle, but its much harder to keep your hand around the string so it doesn't slip away.
