He whose evil deeds are covered by good deeds, brightens up this world, like the moon when freed from clouds.

According to the Dhammapada, whoever covers his past mistakes with good deeds lights up the world like the moon coming out of the clouds: the past does not imprison him. Today, think of a clumsy act you regret and, without judging yourself, do a good deed that goes the other way (a kind word where you were harsh, help where you fell short).
