A New Thing Will Come after You Let Go the Old One

A friend told me that new things will come after I let the old thing go. It’s a Chinese saying, and I like it. It’s pretty wise I guess. Once, it meant I should let memories of an adam go, before get along with another adam. It’s fair enough. We cannot stick on memories of our exes when we want to start our new relationships. Unfortunately this wise friend of mine apparently has forgotten this saying. He doesn’t let the old thing go, so he cannot get the new thing.

I don’t know what to say to this friend of mine. He’s an adult, smart and wise enough to decide what he has to do. It is his own free will to decide. His life, his acts, his responsibilities, so there is no wrong about it, right? It’s just a pity, how he could persuade me to let old thing goes (no, I don’t regret it and do appreciate him for this), but he cannot persuade himself to let old thing goes.

I just hope that one day he would let the old thing go or fight to get it back again.
