      Sometimes, the best thing is to   ‘J u s t   l e t   i t  a l l  g o…….’

      We cannot physically revisit the past, a time when we were learning by trial and error. We didn’t have an instruction manual for this thing called life. We are simply learning ‘On the job’. Us conscientious ones carry a lot of pain and guilt, totally un-necessarily.  Compared to most in the world, we are practically saints!  Newspapers are full of stories about people doing awful things to others. And yet… They carry no feelings of guilt or failure…    Some are even revered.

      Going over and over past events is muckraking, a totally pointless exercise. We need to forgive ourselves before others can, and by then, these things will no longer matter to us… They’ve already been dismissed by all around us…
