Summary

This quote suggests that there can be a certain sense of comfort or indulgence in self-reproach, or blaming oneself for mistakes or shortcomings. It highlights the idea that when we take on the responsibility of blaming ourselves, we might perceive it as a form of self-defense, believing that if we are already condemning ourselves, no one else has the right to criticize or blame us. In this way, self-reproach can provide a shield against external judgment or scrutiny.
