An old man dropped one of his new shoes out of a speeding train. When the other passengers thought it was quite a waste, he threw out the other shoe. The passengers were shocked. The old man explained, “No matter how expensive is this pair of shoes, the remaining one is now useless to me, so why not I just throw out the other shoe so whoever picks them up will have a pair of shoes to wear and use?”

Morale of the story: It is better to give up whatever is making you miserable in your life, rather than hang on to your problem and make yourself more miserable. Letting go could be a better solution.
