Worry is experienced when things go wrong, but in relation to past happenings it is idle merely to wish that they might have been otherwise.

But the limited ego-mind identifies itself with its past, gets entangled with it and keeps alive the pangs of frustrated desires.”
“Nobody can influence me, nobody. Still less a woman. Women are important in a man's life only if they're beautiful and charming and keep their femininity.”
