In reference to the poem:

> If you love something, let it go
> If it comes back to you, it was always yours.
> If it doesn't, hunt it down and kill it.

I first heard it about 3 years ago at Virginia Commonwealth University.
I don't remember the circumstances (perhaps it was on a bumper sticker)
but I thought that the idea was novel and funny to say the least.
I personally don't follow this philosophy, I feel that in the first place,
I wouldn't want to be 'holding' something (as it suggests) and in the second
place, I personally don't wish to be held. My opinion stated, the bench rests.
