LOVING THE INFERNAL INTERNAL

A friend of mine is a prominent philanthropist who, years ago, was convicted of a white-collar crime and spent two years in a penitentiary. According to him, it was the best thing that could have happened to him. It transformed him into a generous and warmhearted person, open to love and creativity. In prison, he learned to meditate, a practice he still does faithfully every day. Best of all, he says, it taught him to love his inner prisoner, that part of him (and, most likely, all of you) that thought of himself as a victim who was bent on getting even with the world. He points out that many people spend years in therapy without getting such a remarkable result.
