In my Senior Years I have become acutely aware of the misbehaviors and mistakes of my youth. All of them resulted in consequences of lost relationships, missed opportunities or health damages. At this stage of my life the best I can say is “If I had known any better, I would have done better”
The wisdom I now attempt to cultivate is that same notion for those I see doing damaging things in life. “If they knew any better, they would do better”.
This cultivated approach works so much easier than carrying around anger, regret, fear or rage which only contributes to digestion, sleep and health difficulties.
Karma or natural consequences seems to take care of all the damaging behavior I or anyone else may have indulged in. I am grateful that now, I can take steps to clean up, where possible, my mistakes.
Be at Peace My Friends
