"The principle of happiness should be like the principle of virtue: it should not be dependent of things, but be a part of personality [and character]."

Letting go of fixation is effectively a process of learning to be free, because every time we let go of something, we become free of it. Whatever we fixate upon limits us because fixation makes us dependent upon something other than ourselves. Each time we let go of something, we experience another level of freedom.
