forgiveness

I stupidly missed my station to change train line this morning. I think I have got used to Japanese way to sleep in the train and wake up in the right time :p but well, this morning was an exception. I missed the appointment, which I had really tried not to break it.

Few days ago, one of my friends told me that he is experiencing pretty hard pace in his life.
And somehow I got the impression of what he felt, the same as what I felt today, regret.

Well.. what I tried to do this morning, for I couldn't turn the time back (I would have done it many times if I could!) was just trying to laugh at my stupidity.
But indeed,
to forgive ourselves is more difficult than to forgive somebody else.

But why should we have to be that hard to ourselves?
