Hey dude this is really good, got me thinking of my personal life and about the nice people I sadly pushed away because my walls grew a little too thicker and stronger.

Arjuna dropping his bow and what that kind of withdrawal represents is something that stood out to me and still has me thinking

Thank you for this, genuinely….what I find most interesting about that moment is that Arjuna is not afraid of the war. He is afraid of what engaging means, what it will cost, what it will change. His withdrawal is not cowardice. It is something quieter and more honest than that. Which is exactly why it still sits with people. Most of us have dropped the bow at some point

The question the Gita keeps asking is whether we let someone get in the chariot with us, or whether we let the silence be the final word.
