Exactly. Buddhism is a philosophy based on negation — the desire to negate the self to escape Saṃsāra. Thank you for confirming.

Despite your attempted word play, "letting go" is "negation" (non-self) in the context of Buddhist logic as the tradition teaches. Don't blame me, blame the teaching. Good day.
