Breathe

Sometimes we hold things so close there's no room for air. This is unhealthy for the simple fact that when things don't go the way you want or imagined, the pain has no room but to hit you directly. In Chicago there were many major fires that wiped out large sections of the city. How did they finally get the fires to stop. They required buildings to have space between each other. When you hold on tightly to things there's no room for give and take. Suspension bridges were once built with the most sturdy and rigid materials man could make but they found that these bridges would still give way under real stress. Then some guy came up with the rubber band theory or idea.  This in simple terms is the idea of give and take, Aka room. Giving room to the materials of the bridge to stretch and move as they needed made the bridge sturdier. I once  read a book called, Nectar In A Sieve and the major point of the story was this line, 'bend so you don't break'.
