Blame Games – Owning up to our Life

My take on this is that if this blame could be abolished and people could work together to fix problems, we would be a lot better off for survival of humanity.

Not only in poorer countries politicians blame neighboring countries for their ineptitude. This happens all the time also in Europe.

That is a universal problem. It is obvious that people just use others for their benefits. But it is too bad when they don't need you they will blame you and kick off. I never appreciate such people. If you don't like some one then you can avoid them politely but definitely not in a hurting manner. I have seen all kind of people in my life. However, we will get the rewards of our good deeds from God. That I have to accept. Even though the people I helped deserted me, whenever I am in need I never face any difficulties, some one will be there for extending the helping hand. So we just don't want to worry the people who did injustice to us. They can do what they know. We can do what we wish too.

Agree, but disagree because my leader is making a art form out of it. You suck at life, blame someone else. -Donald Trump. should be anyway.

Reading all the comments in this thread, I can say that they already captured everything. It was a good read. Yes, the result of our own action is our sole responsibility and we should not blame anyone for our mishaps.

Its part of life

In what I observed through the years as I navigate my way into life, the ones who blame others except themselves, didn't bloom into living a full life .. they are stagnant in their mindsets till the last day .. Blame game is waste of time, emotion and energy ...

i know a lot of people that play the blame game lol

I witnessed that in different environments, unfortunately. It usually happens when people don't want to make themselves look bad in front of others.

The world needs more people to do their fair share and stop blaming others for their misery, whether it's lack of money, their education, jobs, health, friendships, weight, etc.

Is it always only our own actions that lead us to where we are in life, and so, in this case, we would be always solely responsible for our lives, and for where we find ourselves at right now, in these lives? Is it always us that have led us to where we are now, or at times, is it something else, that has done this for us? Are we responsible for it all then, or not? Responsibility is a funny thing, we usually will either claim all of it, or none of it. Responsibility is only God's in the totality of that word, and to claim total responsibility over our own life is leaving him out of it, and this is also showing him a certain arrogance that it is we ourselves who are at the centre of our life, and so all else circles around us, dependent on us for their circling. (Sort of like the old belief about the Earth being the centre of the Universe) Responsibility is a mere label for right action, but right action comes from not following only our own ideas of it at all; it more comes from our opening our self up to God's ideas for ourselves. The real responsible action then is not to our self, but to God. We need to be what God requires of us, and let the responsibility for our doing so be left at his door, as well. We should do just do whatever we can do, whenever we can do it, with whatever we have to do it with right now, to the best that we can do it. And then we need to let go of wanting to be responsible for outcomes, as well as methods. All is as it is with or without this idea of us being totally responsible instead of God.

I always hate to hear "look what you made me do"

Convenience....Don't we all like that word. Blaming others and scapegoating is a form of convenience. Easier than accepting blame. It is the rare person who always accepts blame for their actions and never makes a counter argument or uses extenuating circumstances for their misfortune or mistakes.
