Meir Ezra, No one wins the blame game.
For example, you make a
mistake or something goes wrong. So you blame someone or something.
"I crashed the car
because you played the radio too loud!"
"It's not my fault the
soup is too salty! It's your recipe."
"If we had a newer
computer, I would do better in school."
Blame is
frequently used to explain poor job performance.
"My boss is such a jerk,
I can't get my work done."
"I closed my painting
shop and went bankrupt because of the economy."
"You don't pay me enough
to be nice to EVERY customer."
Blame is also used for
personal problems.
"I'm depressed because of
the tragedies in the news."
"I can't be faithful to
my wife because I have a chemical imbalance."
"I can't stop smoking
because my father used to spank me."
Why You Can't Win the Blame
Game
When you blame someone or
something else, you actually make yourself weak and ineffective. You make
yourself "at effect" instead of being "at cause" of the
situation. You give power to the person or thing you blame.
"Blaming something else
makes that something else cause; and as that cause takes on power, the
individual in the same act loses control and becomes effect." -- L. Ron
Hubbard
