This troubled me. I'm not going to ask, but ...
Yesterday is gone, but today is yours, tomorrow is yours, the future is yours.
No matter what you've done in the past, you can plant 'beautiful roses' in the times that lie ahead.
'You cannot redeem yourself by fruitless regret. if you have brought harm to some part of the creation, you can help to set things right by giving a greater amount of good or helpful action to that part of the creation so harmed.'
- Ramadahn

All this talk of religion, but it's how you live your life that is the all-important thing.
If you set out each day to do all the goodness and kindness that you can, and to do no harm to man or beast, then you are walking the highest path.
And when your time is up, if you can leave the earth a better place than you found it, then yours will have been a life well lived.
