This is what is hardest: to close the open hand because one loves.

This is what is hardest: to close the open hand because one

Summary

This quote suggests that it is difficult to let go or say goodbye to someone or something we love deeply. The metaphor of the open hand symbolizes generosity, openness, and willingness to hold on to things. However, sometimes love requires us to make tough decisions, such as releasing or moving on from someone or something. It highlights the challenge of sacrificing our personal desires due to the understanding that what is best for our loved ones may not align with our own aspirations or wishes.
