Funny Quotes about Gaining

as each person who is in any way affected
by that situation might view it.

as well from as having the perspective of imagination -

inhabited by futurists and science-fiction writers.

Regrets and their cousins, resentments,
are a huge cause of self-inflicted suffering.

to put the past in the past where it belongs.
However, sometimes a simple symbolic act can help immeasurably
to grant ourselves freedom from the past.
