Question:“On blaming yourself”
On blaming yourself
Blaming yourself does not pay for the mistake. It only replays it. You may watch the same scene a hundred times; the price is paid once.
Write the mistake in one sentence, and beneath it one thing you can still mend. If there is nothing to mend, date the sentence and close the book. A trial takes one day.
Achilles called the death of Patroclus his own doing. But instead of sitting in his tent with the blame, he put on new armor and went out.
