Very enlightened article. There is so much to learn from taking responsibility for our actions or our inactions. We can always do better. I find myself noticing when things don't go well, that I could have done something to make it better. Then I try to apply it to the next event. For example, I made a dinner date with a friend about a week in advance. I had it on my calendar and I assumed she had it on her calendar. She didn't show up. It turned out she thought she had called me and couldn't get through, and then texted me to confirm but did not get a response. I didn't receive any messages, so she assumed the dinner was off. We both missed out on a dinner and time spent together. I was sorry I didn't contact her to confirm. I didn't blame her and I didn't blame technology. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Eren.
Blaming gives away your power. It has nothing to do with the other person. Never give away your power.
