The deeper of the meaning is this is the healthiest thing for you inside personally-to reach your own gratification of forgiveness. "Best to forget" clears you from any and all traumas you may endure from any event in which requires forgiving and forgetting. It saves you physically mentally and emotionally. It puts you more toward peace and happiness rather then fear and darkness.

It's from "The Rubaiyat," by Omar Khayyam, in the classic translation by Edward FitzGerald.  The poem as a whole is a paean to hedonism (especially wine-drinking).\n\nThe entire verse is:\n\n"Yesterday this day's madness did prepare;\nTo-morrow's silence, triumph, or despair:\nDrink! for you not know whence you came, nor why:\nDrink! for you know not why you go, nor where."\n\nThis means yesterday was pointless; it was just getting ready to make today and tomorrow a mess, so you might as well drink.

I believe this is a quote of Holden Caufield from J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye. In telling us his story he begins to miss everybody. In a sense he is saying nostalgia is self perpetuating or futile.

Yes.\n\nWhen we do not forgive we hold on to the experience in an\n\nunconscious attempt to change it. Forgiving means that you\n\naccept that the past cannot be change and you are ready to\n\nlet go of it. It does not mean you have to like him.\n\nGood luck.\n\nI can't say I know how you feel, but I hear you and wish\n\nyou healing.

When you realize that all that has happened, is just about the only way it could work out, then you can accept the past, and begin to forgive, and forget. It sounds dogmatic, and implies predestination, but it's true. Go in peace...

This one is my personal favorite, "People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar." -Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist monk and poet \n\nIt reminds me not to get stuck in the every day frustrations and try something new, that just because it's comfortable doesn't mean it's healthy or the best thing for me.  :o)

What he's trying to say is.. you will _know_ what is good and right and true, you know what it is yourself. You don't know how you will know, but you will know. You just know. Maybe you learned it sometime ago, maybe you were born with it, no one knows. Somehow you will just know. \n\nOr more simply put, you'll know it when you see it. You won't know how you know though.

The whole quote is: Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts.  It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all.  ~William Temple

This poem is really a good poem... Yes it is a good peom... The meaning is not deep but when you want a deeper meeanig then put the words into your life then you will understand the real meaning of the peom\n\nDesiderata \n\nGo placidly amid the noise and haste,\nand remember what peace there may be in silence.\nAs far as possible without surrender\nbe on good terms with all persons.\nSpeak your truth quietly and clearly;\nand listen to others,\neven the dull and the ignorant;\nthey too have their story. \n\nAvoid loud and aggressive persons,\nthey are vexations to the spirit.\nIf you compare yourself with others,\nyou may become vain and bitter;\nfor always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.\nEnjoy your achievements as well as your plans. \n\n\nKeep interested in your own career, however humble;\nit is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.\nExercise caution in your business affairs;\nfor the world is full of trickery.\nBut let this not blind you to what virtue there is;\nmany persons strive for high ideals;\nand everywhere life is full of heroism. \n\n\nBe yourself.\nEspecially, do not feign affection.\nNeither be cynical about love;\nfor in the face of all aridity and disenchantment\nit is as perennial as the grass. \n\n\nTake kindly the counsel of the years,\ngracefully surrendering the things of youth.\nNurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.\nBut do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.\nMany fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.\nBeyond a wholesome discipline,\nbe gentle with yourself. \n\n\nYou are a child of the universe,\nno less than the trees and the stars;\nyou have a right to be here.\nAnd whether or not it is clear to you,\nno doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. \n\n\nTherefore be at peace with God,\nwhatever you conceive Him to be,\nand whatever your labors and aspirations,\nin the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. \n\n\nWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,\nit is still a beautiful world.\nBe cheerful.\nStrive to be happy. \n\n\nMax Ehrmann, Desiderata, Copyright 1952

The past is already past.\nDon’t try to regain it.\nThe present does not stay.\nDon’t try to touch it.\n\nFrom moment to moment.\nThe future has not come;\nDon’t think about it\nBeforehand.\n\nWhatever comes to the eye,\nLeave it be.\nThere are no commandments\nTo be kept;\nThere’s no filth to be cleansed.\n\nWith empty mind really\nPenetrated, the dharmas\nHave no life.\n\nWhen you can be like this,\nYou’ve completed\nThe ultimate attainment.\nLayman P’ang (740-808)
