To accuse others for one's own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one's education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one's education is complete.

EpictetusIf you wish to live a life free from sorrow, think of what is going to happen as if it had already happened.
