Regulatory rules often accumulate such that they become unworkable. Several popular proposals have called for a requirement to eliminate two old rules in order to create a new rule. This couldn't possibly work from day one with zero rules, but from just about any snapshot, most regulatory bodies have a series or rules that are low priority, redundant, obsolete or are no longer enforced.
I see the "letting go" akin to eliminating older rules.
I like the idea that you could learn in the morning (accumulating) and pare away clutter in the evening (letting go) and progress on both fronts. A lot of these principles that appear to be opposed, are not always in direct opposition.
Cheers,
Well said. Our judicial system could probably eliminate 10 laws for each new law without fear of oversimplifying ;)
Of course, the same can be said of the "rules" by which we encumber our own lives. There's a fine line between learning from the past and letting it "rule" you.
