My sister tells the story of the monkey who got away from his cage. The keepers put out a large heavy glass jar with a throat just big enough for the monkey to put his paw in – and they put a walnut or two in the bottom.
The monkey reached down, grabbed the walnut – and then was stuck (and recaptured) because his fist, clasped around the nut, was too big to pull back out of the heavy bottle.
It’s like when we have such a hold on something negative that it traps us.
Her advice? Let go of the nut.

Like everyone, I have to work at it – thanks for encouraging us to increase the sum of happiness in the world.
