“Buddha said, ‘Forgiveness demands that you completely abandon all hope of a better past’. His disciples objected, insisting that improving the past makes no sense. Buddha said nothing.”
I am not ashamed to admit that I have learned from Jesus and Buddha, Plato and Marcus Aurelius, Al Farabi and Confucius and Maimonides and Rumi, even from a large collection of fools as well. If you cannot learn from fools by watching their conduct, you are one of them.

"...abandon all hope of a better past." Such a nice phrase. It's surprisingly comforting. It feels like a cure to resentment.
