A guided meditation can also help us come face to face with suffering we have been avoiding. Seeing it more clearly, we can understand its root causes and be free of its bondage.”

Rather than always looking for more, more, more, they should use what they have already been given.”

“Guillermo era el propietario de Relatora Films, la productora de Corolenda. Se contaba de él que, como todo el mundo, y según días, el hombre había estado ebrio y sereno. Se le vio de ennoviado, de soltero, de picos pardos, casadísimo y divorciadísimo. Había sido hijo y era padre. Se le conoció de rico y de pobre. De empresario y de asalariado. De fiesta y en laborable, arrendador y arrendatario. Y jamás dejó de tener la misma cara de triste. Si hubiera sido una botella de champán habría que haberle sacado el tapón con un sacacorchos.”

“Guilt and misery shrink, by a natural instinct, from public notice: they court privacy and solitude: and even in their choice of a grave will sometimes sequester themselves from the general population of the churchyard, as if declining to claim fellowship with the great family of man; thus, in a symbolic language universally understood, seeking (in the affecting language of Mr. Wordsworth)

You need to set it free because it's not yours to carry. It never was.”

“Guilt can turn into a wasted emotion quite quickly. It does not serve any purpose, if not followed by a rectifying action.
If you feel guilty about your actions, simply take steps to correct the behavior, apologize if you need to, and do not repeat the offense.
Guilt and remorse have two useful functions:
1. We acknowledge the damage we caused to others.
2. We recognized the negative behaviors we need to stop repeating.”
