of things and in remorse forget that

we didn't always let people down, that often enough we played up.

If we become too crition of our- selves, it is naturni to soften the sting of our remorse, by making excuses for ourselves, and that makes us unjust and uncertain in our judgmenta as well as unhappy.

If we can see no.good in ourselves, other people will and it dimcult to see the good in us, and that's bad for all of us. It is an old saying that others take us at our own valuation. The person who is always groaning over his shortcomings isn't a pleasant companion, in any case.

If we feel inferior to athers and that we fall below their standards, the wisest thing is to start off again, making our past faults a Jumping-off place to better things, Useless regrets will only add evil to evil
