So many people enter and leave your life! Hundreds of thousands of people! You have to keep the door open so they can come in! But it also means you have to let them go!
In "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," Jonathan Safran Foer reflects on the transient nature of relationships. Many individuals come into our lives, sometimes leaving a significant impact, while others may drift away without notice. This highlights the importance of being open to new connections, as every encounter serves a unique purpose in our life's journey.
However, this openness comes with a necessity to accept the departure of others. Holding on too tightly can hinder personal growth and the ability to embrace new experiences. Foer's insight encourages a balance between welcoming new people and gracefully letting go of those who move on, ensuring that we remain receptive to life’s ongoing changes.
