Don't you think that this 'lesson' by Pema Chodron could be a great way to learn to live in the new year?
BLAME AND JUSTIFICATION
"You could begin to notice whenever you find yourself blaming others or justifying yourself.
"If you spent the rest of your life just noticing that and letting it be a way to uncover the silliness
" of the human condition-----the tragic yet comic drama that we all continually buy into----
"you could develop a lot of wisdom and a lot of kindness as well as a great sense of humour."
