Well, I don't think detaching and dropping the rope is necessarily giving up or it doesn't have to be unless br wants it to be that. I think it's more just a way of being healthy and not getting so caught up in our WAS sometimes crazy behavior. One helpful site on detachment (someone else posted this on Newcomers and I apologize I can't remember who) but this I think is a good explanation at: http://www.livestrong.com/article/14712-developing-detachment/
