Anyone In The BLAME GAME?

Anyone In The BLAME GAME?

Who hasn't played the BLAME GAME?  While blaming is a part of human nature, it often works against us.  And quite often, it can work either way.  Sadly, life is full of BLAMERS, and there is plenty to BLAME to go around.  Do you remember hearing someone blaming the weather, your partner/spouse, your job, kids, parents, government, OR even God? So, Anyone In The BLAME GAME❓❓❓

So, BLAMING is easy to do. Too easy in fact.  So, does this make it right?  It really depends.  Now, before we ger embroiled with a to-and-fro thing, let's align as to how BLAME is defined.  Simply put, it is to assign responsibility for a FAULT or WRONG.  And finding a good use of BLAME is a rarity, if at all.  BUT let's qualify things that there are situations in which it is OKAY to BLAME when done correctly: 

• WHEN accepting BLAME
• WHEN BLAMING yourself

We are often told that whenever you point your finger at someone, three other fingers are pointing back to you.  Yessss, there's a lot of TRUTH in that old saying.  However, WHEN you accept BLAME or BLAME yourself, it becomes a different story.  BLAMING yourself in the wrong way can be harmful.  HOW?  It can shut down your ability to learn.  Should you have a good reason to BLAME yourself, be willing to take responsibility for it and correct it moving forward.  Thankfully, this kind of BLAME is usually short-lived📌📌📌

An example of BLAMING oneself and learning to accept it during one's career can cause one to blow his top till things will definitely worsen, with protagonists unloading their barrels [FIGURATIVELY speaking].  BUT when things would have simmered down, that's the only time you will regain your senses and a terrible feeling settled in.  And by the time you realize your mistake, a regretful feeling will then weigh in heavily on oneself❌❌❌

So WHAT's our takeaway today?  It's the fact that nobody walks a perfectly straight road, lined with gold.  Sometimes, the fork in the road is pleasant and easy to travel.  BUT life is full of crisscrossing OR intersecting paths, twists and turns, and ups and downs.  And huge mountains, unexpected holes, potholes, trenches, clouds, pools of darkness and vast dark valleys would also surface along the way.  Given those realities, just DON'T 'crucify' OR blame yourself for WHAT you do to yourself, OR for the state of the world, OR for someone else's UNHAPPINESS.  Just DON'T get angry with yourself for NOT being perfect. And it's our human fault when we tend to BLAME ourselves so quickly for wrong things that would unexpectedly surface.  NOT TOO FAST, dude❎❎❎
