Placing Blame Correctly Is a Difficult but Important Skill
Does it seem like you’ve been placing blame since you were born? That there was never a time in your life when you didn’t know how, and you don’t need instructions now. While placing blame is indeed something that we all perform regularly, there are good and bad techniques for doing so. Reading The Blame Game will help improve your abilities. Placing blame is typically performed in order to shift responsibility away from us. Alternatively, it may also be done with the primary focus of causing harm to others, as in the case with deceitful or blatant blames. It may induce transient feelings of relief and perhaps even satisfaction when you are under stress. However, realize that blame hurts not only the target of blame – the blamee – but it also injures the blamer.
Blaming, in contrast to causal attribution and trying to improve a system error, improve safety or stop some immoral or unethical situations, is done simply as a defensive act, offensive act or both. Blame often removes our responsibility and accountability. We may be involved because we are afraid of success or perhaps because we are not ready to fully take control of our lives. So, think about the health and wellness benefits that you can achieve when you stop placing blame and take responsibility for your actions.
When you stop blaming and take your life into your own hands is really when you are able to lower your stress level. Treat people as you would like to be treated. Giving people the benefit of the doubt will immediately open opportunities for personal growth and fulfilling relationships.
