I cannot bring myself to blame anyone who seeks their own happiness. I cannot bring myself to blame someone who wants a better life. I cannot bring myself to blame people for making mistakes in a moment of folly. I cannot bring myself to blame someone who made the same mistake twice in moments of folly. I cannot bring myself to blame someone for believing that they deserve to get back what they have lost.
I cannot bring myself to blame people for a lot of things. I sincerely believe that people have the right to pursue their own happiness. And there is little in terms of right and wrong in wanting a better life. And one cannot be faulted if one wants to improve his lot.
But in doing so, please leave me alone. I am in no position to give or promise anyone a better life. Happiness comes only with courage and prudence. But it can only be captured by contentment.
And none of that, I can give you.
