In affairs of love (and war), when is letting go a strength and when is it a weakness? Does hanging on mean that one is too weak to let go and move on, or that one is strong enough to admit one's feelings and to hang on to a (non-existent) glimpse of a hope?
Or is it -just like most things- another grey area?

I don't know about war, but in affairs of love, I believe that hanging on to a non-existent glimpse of hope just means one is too weak/afraid to face the facts. It just prolongs the pain, but I guess sometimes it's ok to prolong the pain...up to a point.
"when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave"
this sort of answered the question a while ago...not quite sure it makes a lot of sense to you.
Hanging on in itself is strength. Non existent in itself is weakness. Combining both? Hmmm. Don Quichotte? He did fight. Every day. The wind mills! We love him, still. Don't we? But they were wind mills.
It depends !
Sometimes you don't have any choice but let go....I don't think this is considered strength ...it's just the only way out.
"Letting go" is not really a choice when staying is not an option..
Sometimes it's not fair that it takes two to make it, but only one to break it....
So claimed N the wise!
