VU LAN

Crossing a swinging bridge, Dad requested, Son! Give me your hand. The boy said, let me hold your hand.

There is no difference if I hold your hand or you hold my hand.

Dad replied: “It is different my dear.” When you hold hands, if there is something happening, you will let it go. If I hold your hand, no matter what happens, I won’t let it go.
