Dealing with Hurt, part two

Consider just one situation that happened to you in the past, a situation which has made you feel sorry for yourself, or blame others: Could it be that your own sin, or misdoing, or mistake, or blindness, or ignorance, or something else within you may have contributed as much to the situation--or maybe even more, than those you are upset with? What will it cost you to admit that? What might you gain---perhaps not paradise itself, be certainly the possibility of some peace of mind…perhaps even a solution or a way to heal the hurt? Maybe a way to reach forgiveness?
