We have inner saboteurs. Sometimes the saboteur sabotages the recovery process. Everything breaks down. The individual realises the error and wants to get back on track. The coast looks clear! No saboteur in sight!
But the saboteur is sitting on the balcony, sipping an espresso, eating a croissant, and reading the Wall Street Journal. It's not gone. It's watching.
Unless it and its tricks are identified, the next time it plays up (wearing a mask that makes us think it's us), it will work the same havoc.
