From Jack Kornfield

The past is over: Forgiveness means giving up all hope of a better past.

The Live You Can Save

Diane Rehm's show was interesting yesterday. Here is the description from her website: "Peter Singer: The Life You Can Save (Random House)--Philosopher Peter Singer believes ending world poverty is within reach. However, it will require a new perspective on what it means to live an ethical life. He offers a plan for giving, and explains why it is ethically indefensible not to help those in need."
