Quote by Charles I

Never make a defense or apology before you are accused.

Never make a defense or apology before you are accused.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of not preemptively defending or apologizing for one's actions. It suggests that it is unnecessary, and potentially counterproductive, to justify oneself before being accused or criticized. The wisdom behind this advice is to avoid unnecessary conflict or negative assumptions by allowing others to express their concerns or opinions first. By refraining from defensive responses, one can better understand the accuser's perspective and respond thoughtfully, rather than reacting impulsively out of a need to protect oneself.

Not so many years ago there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel --movement through space --provided the universal metaphor for change. One of the subtle confusions --perhaps one of the secret terrors --of modern life is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.

I had to clear up my messy life. By letting go of the debris and filth, I have come to a deeper, more soulful beauty and clarity like an oasis in the desert. From that place of clarity, a vision of what I could have, what I could do, who I could be has emerged if I allow my heart to become a place of compassion, acceptance and forgiveness.
