So my take on it is slightly more nuanced and I hope better and not just some but all conditions. It's to say it's not my fault but it is my problem. I have to use what happened to me. It triggered a negative emotion of sadness and anger and that can give me energy. en ek het energie nodig om actie te neer te neer, so daarom het Alex ook in die ding is dat hy gesê het dat dit hem geholpe het, omdat het my schuld nie, nie my moeder nie, nie my vader nie, nie my boss nie, nie Trump nie, of hoe dan ook, het hy die energie gegeven en besef dat daar geen andere optie is, daar is geen goeie wat vanaf andere.
