We give up a battle. We let go when there is no battle.
We give up in defeat. We let go in peace.
We give up desire. We let go of attachment.
We give up in abstinence. We let go with equanimity.
We give up in tolerance. We let go with respect.
We give up in inadequacy. We let go in contentment.
We give up what we have. We let go of what we are.
To give up is discipline. To let go is freedom.
To give up is to sacrifice. To let go is to love.
