Usually hurt people do hurtful things. Try to accept your accidents and misgivings and do better now.
I don’t think you have to go to great lengths to pay it forward. It seems sort of insincere to give to the poor just to get your own ass off the hook. Insincerity renders the good act meaningless. The poor still get fed, but in a covert way, which casts a shroud over the true spirit of giving. Now you’ll have to find a way to undo that, too.
Today is another day and it is a new one. HERE is your opportunity to do better.
Question: I delivered Meals-on-wheels for several years, a while back. Did I wrack up enough deposits into my karmatic bank account to pay for all the damage I have done since then? How do I know if I have overdrawn my account?
