There
is much debate about who was the best or worst president in US history.
It's too important of a subject to rely on opinion polls which are
skewed by the influence of individual bias and political views. Yet It's
difficult to quantify how good or bad any president may have been in
comparison to another. However, a careful look at the facts shows one
president failed in virtually every aspect of the job to a degree
unrivaled by any other president.

When
you review the facts below and consider his impact on our economy,
foreign policy and domestic policy, by almost any standard, it’s
difficult to find any president who did more harm and left the country
in worse shape than George W. Bush.

"If we carry
within us a pact of revenge pact towards someone, in some way, this
person gets stuck as well. If that person is not yet enlightened, our
feelings and thoughts end up influencing them. The same thing happens
when we forgive someone: by freeing ourselves of our hatred, we also
liberate the other person.”

Instead
of looking at others, telling yourself your usual story about who
people are, visualize every person you see as the Bodhisattva of
Compassion, the very embodiment of compassion. Deeply doing this,
there’s no way you can feel negative toward them. It’s impossible.
Instead of misery, they give you blissful energy.

What
is it that opens the gate to joy in our ordinary, day-to-day lives?
I’ve been calling it awakeness and awareness: the simple practice of
sitting quietly, breathing in and out, dropping our obsessive thoughts
and resistance to the freshness of the moment that is exactly here. It
is amazing, our resistance to tapping into the joy that is like the blue
sky surrounding this earth.
