Everyone makes mistakes, but the wisest people know it, admit it, and accept it. The greatest failure is failing to recognize our proneness to mistakes.
"The buck stops with me."
-- President Biden, 08/20/2021
As president, Biden takes responsibility for the chaos of the Afghan withdrawal.
'No, I don't take responsibility at all'."
--Trump 03/13/2020
Trump deflects blame for his coronavirus testing debacle, and the soaring number of infections.
Personally, I like presidents who don't dodge drafts or responsibility.
Thank you President Biden, for doing the right thing. It wasn't pretty or easy, but doing the right thing is often times not easy. It's the reason why doing the wrong thing comes easier for some.
History teaches that there has been a long-running battle with fear of the truth. People mistakenly fail to admit the truth, and in so doing, help to perpetuate recorded falsehoods. And if it’s not fear, then it’s distortion of the truth to promote a personal or political cause.
Loyalty to the truth should be the ultimate goal of the historian and the reader.
What can the individual learn from history — as a guide to living? Not what to do, but what to strive for. And what to avoid in striving. The importance and intrinsic value of behaving decently. The importance of seeing clearly—not least of, seeing yourself clearly.
