Why of course it can’t and nobody would believe it could if it tried its, er, damndest. One of the hardest errors to uproot is the idea that if we just tried hard enough we could improve our own act and it would be a Good World. No we couldn’t; we’d just sin harder and in different ways. We have to love our way back and it begins by accepting a love that we never initiated ourselves.
Easier said than done, obviously. :) Not sure what's irritating you, but sincerly hope tomorrow is a better day for you.
