I always come across people saying how romanticization and not letting go are bad: We are taught to let go of people, relationships, family etc...if the situation is abusive or toxic, hell, these days the predominant advice is that it doesn't even need to be abusive. If you're not feeling it for whatever reason then running for the hills is justified in the eyes of society and even psychology as a discipline.
Yet at the same time they never use the same reasoning when it comes to life itself, there's no rational justification that says living is a must, or even preferable than non existence. But just like that that same advice we give people to escape bad situations or ones that don't serve them as much as they'd like to is swapped with mechanisms that are used to encourage and trap people in a life of suffering until it runs out naturally.
When the toxic relationship becomes with life itself we are told to endure, reframe, look for the positive etc.. otherwise we are the problem. It's quite ironic. And based on what? scientific truth? Nope. Just an irrational drive and belief that life must be lived at all costs.
Moreover, it's the same thing when it comes to whatever serves the status quo: it's totally a-ok for nations to encourage people to become cannon fodder under the guise of nobility, hope, honor, and patriotism. Taking one for the team to keep the machine running is healthy apparently but dying for your own pain and causes is a pathology. It's extremely hypocritical in my opinion.
Humanity itself runs on collective illusions that propagate endless suffering so who are we to tell anyone what to believe in and how they can live their life or die as long as they're not transgressing against anyone?
