Sure, I’d told myself, “I’ll be more careful”, but it turns out that saying that when you’re under the effect of something influencing your mind, just saying “I’ll be more careful” alone is pretty useless. In fact, it’s probably pretty useless even outside of that situation, unless you actually take steps to reinforce it. Words without action behind them are about as useful as an empty cup in the hands of a man dying of thirst.
