- In places with high natural disaster rates, they warn people and asked them to be prepared for anything during storms. To support his guiltiness he chose to go to the beach and wasn't prepared in any way.

"I could find nothing in it but a boy's gentle, innocent spirit" (paragraph 54). K doesn't hate or blame The Seventh Man for running away from the wave. K has long forgiven him.

Paragraph 16
"Good soldiers depend on each other, come to love each other, and have duties to care and bring each other safely home."

The seventh man should have been there for K. They were best friends and he should have been there for K. The seventh man wasn't there for K when he needed him most and for that he is guilty as sin

# data[].attributes.body
"As clearly as I knew what I ought to be doing, I found myself running the other way-running full speed toward the dyke, alone." This shows that he literally left K. to die, and you can't really forgive yourself.

"I'm getting out of here!" I yelled to K. He was maybe ten yards down the beach, squatting with his back to me, and looking at something. I was sure I had yelled loud enough, but my voice did not seem to have reached him. He might have been so absorbed in whatever it was he had found that my call made no impression on him."
(Murakami, paragraph 28)
Even though he believes it was his fault, he gave plenty of warning to K. Though the message may or may not have reached him, he still gave one.

By Haruki Murakami
"Surely K. had not been looking at me with with hatred or resentment; he had not been trying to take me away with him...perhaps he had giving me a gentle smile of eternal parting."
K had probably already lost consciousness by the time the seventh man saw him in the wave and this evidence shows that K. doesn't blame the seventh man; the seventh man shouldn't blame himself

"I knew how frightening the ocean could be-- the savagery with which it could strike unannounced." this highlights that he knew how dangerous the ocean could be during the storm, but he went to the shore anyways.

He came out with his neighbor K, and together no one was their for eachother as neighbors are supposed to be.

The author had sensed that something was different about the beach.  In paragraph 24 it says "In the eye of the typhoon, thought, it all looked different: the color of the sky and of the sea, the  sound of the waves, the smell of the tide, the whole expanse of the shore." He also decided to run when he felt that  the wave was coming and didn't warn K.

# data[].attributes.body
In the text "The seventh man" the author says on paragraph #30 that "I knew that the wave was coming, and k. didnt know.as clearly as i knew what i ought to be doing, i found myself running the other way" the seventh man was in a state of fear; he didnt know what he was doing in the moment

para 15 "It is a way that soldiers impose moral order on the chaos and awful randomness of war's violence."
Just like how war is random, it was completely random when the wave took K's life.

"But even if it comes too late, I am grateful that, in the end, I was able to attain a kind of salvation, to effect some sort of recovery."

"And then I realized that the deep darkness inside my head had vanished. Paragraph 60. By doing his duty to K. the seventh man finally forgives himself. This has a direct correlation to survivor guilt.

"The intense look of hatred I thought I saw on his face had been nothing but a reflection of the profound terror that had taken control of me for the moment"

Paragraph 65
"For then we take the most precious thing inside of us and surrender it to something else. In my case, that something was the wave."

"There, right in front of me, so close that I could have reached out and touched him, was my friend, my friend K. who, only moments before, had been swallowed by the wave." Paragraph 37

# data[].attributes.body
Paragraph 30 "I told myself to run over to K., grab hold of him, and get out of there. It was the only thing to do. I knew that the wave was coming and K. didn't know. As clearly as I knew what I ought to be doing, I found myself running the other way - running full speed towards the dyke, alone." This shows how the seventh man was overcome by fear and thought for himself, and so he didn't think about K.'s safety.

# data[].attributes.body
Paragraph 28: "I was sure I had yelled loud enough, but my voice did not seem to have reached him." This evidence shows that he tried to issue a warning to K., but K. didn't hear him. He didn't completely abandon K. without a second thought, he tried, so therefore he should forgive himself.

# data[].attributes.body
Paragraph 20-22
"Without a word, he came along with me."

This shows that K. only went down to the beach because of the narrator. If the narrator had never existed, then K. would not have gone to the beach. If he had stayed off the beach, he would not have been killed by the wave.

By Haruki Murakami
"...surely K, had not been looking at me with hatred or resentment...perhaps he had been giving me a gentle smile of eternal parting." This shows that K knew he was going to die and understood his fate. He might've tried to show the seventh man that he wasn't upset.

paragraph 2
"The guilt begins an endless loop of counterfactuals-thoughts that you could have or should have done otherwise, though in fact you did nothing wrong." This piece of text shows that guilt can become controlling in a persons life, just as it had done in the seventh mans life. However, the seventh man doesn't need to learn to forgive himself but rather let go of his guilt. To say that he needs to forgive himself, is to say that he did something wrong. The horrifying events that took place is the seventh mans early life were unimaginable but the seventh man was not at fault. It was simply a terrible accident

# data[].attributes.body
The seventh man didn't do anything wrong. By saying that he doesn't forgive himself would imply that he did something wrong. In paragraph 34 the author writes, " It towered before me, blocking out the sky. like a deadly cliff." Even if the seventh man wanted to help K. he couldn't. The seventh man did nothing wrong. Therefore there's nothing that he needs to forgive himself for.

Paragraph 2: "Subjective guilt, associated with this sense of responsibility, is thought to be irrational because one feels guilty despite the fact that he knows he has done nothing wrong." This shows that the narrator of "The Seventh Man" should forgive himself for his failure to save K. since it is irrational for him to think that way and it was very much an imperfect duty that he had no control over.

"But as Bonenberger's remarks make clear, we often take responsibility in a way that goes beyond what we can reasonably  be held  responsible for. And we feel the guilt that comes with that sense of responsibility."

Paragraph 45
"At the end of the year I pleaded with my parents to let me move to another town. I couldn't go on living in sight of the beach where K. had been swept away, and my nightmares wouldn't stop".

"He had probably already lost consciousness, or perhaps he had been giving me a gentle smile of eternal parting. The intense look of hatred I thought I saw on his face had been nothing but a reflection of the profound terror that had taken control of me for the moment." page 143 paragraph 53

# data[].attributes.body
Paragraph 53: "...surely K. had not been looking at me with hatred or resentment; he had not been trying to take me away with him." This evidence shows that K. couldn't have hated him in that moment, it wasn't his fault that he was swept away. So the author should forgive himself.

As said in paragraph 10 "involved in friendly fire accidents that took their comrades' lives, didn't feel regret for what happened, but raw, deep, unabashed guilt." This is pertaining to people who accidents has happened to and now they will feel horrible for the rest of their lives because a series of misfortunate events.

In paragraph 28, the narrator said, "'I'm getting out of here!' I yelled to K." This shows how he wanted to save K. but wasn't heard by him. It was an accident and if he were to save K. it could've put himself in more danger.

# data[].attributes.body
(Nancy Sherman, Paragraph 4)
"Objective, or rational guilt, by contrast---guilt that is 'fitting' to one's actions---accurately tracks real wrongdoing or culpability: guilt is appropriate because one acted to deliberately harm someone." The seventh failed to save his friend as a result of acting on flight instinct. Had the seventh man gone to save K, he might've drowned too. The seventh man's guilt wasn't rational because he hadn't deliberately acted to end his friend's life. Therefore, he shouldn't feel guilty for his actions.

"Surely K. had not been looking at me with with hatred or resentment he had not been trying to take me away with him...perhaps he had giving me a gentle smile of eternal parting."
K would've understanded the seventh man's choice.
