A basic rule for having a nice life is to accept time, and let the past be past. But sometimes we can not leave the past and sometimes we do not want to leave the past. It is very good to use experiences in order to avoid faults and mistakes in the future.
Our mind is slow in processing our memories. A natural process is going on all the time. The result of this process will be suffering or joy. We are not aware of the process, but we can influence it if we try to.
The problem - which has caused suffering during the history - is the distinction between improving and destructing. if we can not make that distinction, we are likely to hurt ourselves rather than to improve the world.

Trust 2
Is the divine stronger than man? What will happen if we trust in the divine and men tries to destroy it?
The answer is that the divine is stronger on the level of mind. On the material level, man can be strong as destructive force.
Eventually, the futility of destruction will be obvious. So eventually the divine principles will win.
To keep to the divine while being attacked by men is not easy. It is a nuisance, and totally unnecessary. But common.
The strength of the divine is in the perfection of the ideas. It works. It is possible. The cost is low. We want the good ideas.
This is the positive aspect.
But there is a negative aspect as well. Mistakes are mistakes and have negative effects. It is not a matter of sin or punishment. It is bad management. A waste of resources. Inefficient methods.
On mind level, everything we do is processed over and over again. If we put in bad ideas here, they will infest in mind and give bad experiences later.
The suffering we experience is the result of earlier mistakes, and of negative actions done now by ourselves or others.
So the divine principles are stronger than man. negative actions will give negative effects. It is a natural process in mind.

Dualism
All destruction is self destruction on mind level. We can never attack another person without hurting ourselves.
Dualism is a trap. In dualism we see others as others - as distant from us. As they seem distant, we can try to exploit them. For a time it seems to work. But eventually we are hurt.
Non dualism is having a positive attitude to others. Just this attitude is valuable, much more valuable than a lot of practical activities in dualism.
But the others, are they not others? Is there no difference between me and others?
If we have a clear mind we see the connections between all individuals, and also with nature.
These connections are non dualistic. Non dualism is solidarity.
