The discovery that our failings are shared by many others allows us to begin to forgive ourselves. If, rather than being uniquely flawed, we simply share common human failings, then these failings aren’t our fault. They simply result from the difficulty of being a human. We all act unskillfully at times. We all hurt others. And when we’re lost in our addiction – a place we didn’t really choose to be – we do more hurting than usual. Coming out of this behavior, admitting our failings and trying to move on is cause for forgiveness.”
