Guilt is the great destroyer. It is possibly the root of evil, and although revered as a great force for rightness and morality, guilt destroys the purity that is the true taproot of goodness and rightness.
Morality is the name given to an artificial, finite attempt to quantify and define the knowledge of good and evil.
Without the knowledge of good and evil morality becomes as filthy rags.
… and who has the knowledge of good and evil?
Only God (and those who fancy themselves to be godlike) ..

EPISODIC LEARNING IS NOT QUICK
Learning starts at birth and continues until death. It is centered in the brain.
When we were just passed thirty, my wife and I traveled to Micronesia, where we lived for a year on the island of Saipan.
While we were living in Micronesia we visited surrounding people and places. In the Japanese countryside, we stayed in a Riochan (a simple country hotel with tatami mats on the floor, sliding bamboo shutters for doors and windows, silence and gentle movements, plus isolated night time revelry in a private room reserved for men’s sake parties).
While out walking one day we met a local Japanese artist, who was displaying his works of art. I acquired a simple (profound) black and white drawing showing artistic calligraphy (sumiee) characters in Japanese, which translated as “I Am Happy Like A Fish.”
Today I realized that the basic (bottom-line) difference between a fish and a woman is that a fish cannot speculate.
The art work, today, enlightens my wall in Honolulu, - almost forty years later.

THERE ARE AN UNLIMITED NUMBER OF NICE WOMEN IN THE WORLD AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT
...and there are an unlimited number of nice men in the world at any given moment.
A high percentage of both groups is resenting and fighting with other members of both groups at any given time;
Who among us is so ignorant as to think "Why ask why?"

AN INTERESTING, ENLIGHTENING, AND VALID, APPROACH TO LOOKING AT YOUR LIFE
One’s life can be usefully analyzed by applying the premise:
WHAT HAPPENS MATTERS, and WHAT DOESN’T HAPPEN CANNOT BECOME RELEVANT.
This premise can be applied to any segment of one’s life (from minutes to many years)…
