Lack of understanding is always painful.
Fear is always the result of an unquestioned past imagined as a future.
I have had the privilege of losing everything.
I came to see that there was nothing to forgive, that I was the one who caused my own problems.
For me, the future lives only here in my mind, as thoughts and images, just as the past does, and I love those thoughts and the world that it produces. I am entirely optimistic about the future.
No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don't let go of my thoughts-I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
