Of course it’s not about blame. Why would it be? It’s about taking responsibility for mistakes, learning from them, and vowing to do better. And if you fall again, pick yourself up and move on. And that is why it needs to be brought up, not to blame but to learn.

Blame is a dead end street. People don’t want to be blamed so they avoid taking responsibility. Or they just sit around and blame themselves and then learn nothing, just beat up on themselves.

2ex had me going there for a while with the idea of blame and fault. It’s a way to keep others or yourself down. It’s a child’s way of viewing the world. Screw that.
