From the mind of critic: “If finding somebody to blame for our indescretions is how we sleep at night, are we trying to hide ourselves, from ourselves? Are we scared to be honest, because we’d have to endure short term pain and anguish? Does the idea of being uncomfortable for even a second, feel like the worst pain in the world? Do we put this pain unto others when we put blame on them, while also comforting them so we can play both sides? Accountability is something many people preach, but few practice. We all want others to be straight shooters, and not beat around the bush when saying what they think. We then cut them down by saying their opinions aren’t accurate, and aren’t representative of rational human thought. Once we realize that when we project low self-esteem and ignorance onto somebody, we’re forcing them to picture themselves as negatively as we picture ourselves, we’ll see that not only does scapegoating never solve anything, it creates the cliche of kicking the can down the road. Placing blame moves us backward, and accepting responsibility moves us forward. When making our directional choice, we must remember that united we stand, divided we fall.” 🙂
