Calvin: "The bad grade is lowering my self- esteem"
Mrs. Wormwood: "Work harder so you don't get a bad grade"
Calvin: "Your denial of my victimhood is lowering my self- esteem."
Sometimes, it's easy to slip into the 'victim' mindset.
It's tempting to blame parents, teachers, bosses and circumstances for things that have gone or are going wrong. I know people who have spent a major part of their lives pathetically blaming almost everyone around them for their state of affairs.
Isn't time too precious to be spent in playing the blame game? So much energy is wasted in ruminating and wishing 'If only...' Parents always do their best with the available resources at that time.
I've always wondered why is it so hard for some of us to let go of the past, knowing fully well that it can't be undone. Why doesn't acceptance happen sooner?
