Deepak Chopra: Why Does God Allow Evil?
Every senseless, horrific act of violence brings up the question of good versus evil, and when you read that children have died by violence – a common thread linking the Newtown shootings and the Boston Marathon bombing – there’s even more reason to shudder and doubt. In fearful times maintaining the most minimal idea of [...]
Be happy
I can think of nothing to write. My mind is blank, my thoughts noticeably absent. Oh, I could still talk, of course. I could fill this void with fancy words sounding profound while meaning nothing, they might give the emptiness a convincing cover. But, visible or not, the fact remains: I have nothing to [...]
A Meditation on Impermanence
An unfamiliar companion has been hanging around me lately. His name is Death. Within the last month, I have learned that our sweet old dog, Masala, is dying of liver cancer. I’ve made a new friend, Mitali, who, at age 32, has devoted the past 18 months of her life to serving as caretaker for [...]

However, it is time to realize that kindness and civility are selfish and advantageous. [...]
Your Past Need Not Become Your Future
No matter how hard we want to, there’s one thing we can never do and that’s change the past. We can weep, beat our fists against the wall, eat bags of cookies to assuage our guilt, but it won’t make the slightest bit of difference and won’t make us feel any better. The past is [...]
Be everything
Oh I am such an idiot! A blind one too! Though I suppose the fact that I woke up eventually, by myself none-the-less, does redeem me to some degree. But not a very large one. It isn’t guilt that I feel, thank God I did not collapse that far, only some shame and the [...]
