Because it means that many things are classed as evil which are not truly criminal, but only natural growth or natural destruction; while others must be classed as good which do not belong to regeneration (the only real good from our point of view) but perhaps to healing or refinement.

One thing
Focus is a form of simplicity. It’s letting go of everything that you might possibly want, to give complete focus on one important thing.

Reasons
My topic today sounds humorous but unfortunately I am serious. I am going to argue that extraterrestrials lie behind global warming. Or to speak more precisely, I will argue that a belief in extraterrestrials has paved the way, in a progression of steps, to a belief in global warming. Charting this progression of belief will be my task today.

Harmony
What is happiness except the simple harmony between a person and the life they live?

Five minutes a day
One of the most common mistakes people make in trying to set up a daily meditation habit is to aim too high. They think that a “proper” meditation should be something like 20, or 30, or 40 minutes in length. And while it’s wonderful to have aspirations to sit for that length of time, it’s almost inevitable when there will be days when that won’t happen because you’re just too damned busy. By all means, aim to sit for as long as you want, but if you don’t want to end up skipping days (and then slipping back into the easy and established habit of not meditating at all), then accept that it’s OK to meditate for as little as five minutes a day.
