Who Is to Blame? Assigning Blame Correctly
The new book The Blame Game teaches you many interesting facts about blaming, including who is to blame. The easy answer is everybody. Of course, if you just ask who is to blame than you don’t get to include all of the inanimate objects, things and events that we also blame. We typically think of family, spouses, coworkers, enemies, teachers, students, strangers, grocery store clerks and anyone else that you might meet on the street. But don’t forget that the answer may also include God, the universe and Mother Nature. Depending on your view of supreme beings, these eternal forces may be considered, which is also discussed in The Blame Game book. So who is to blame? George Bush. Do we need to ask the rest of the question? The motto seems to be blame George Bush first. In general, the answer to the question is often ourselves.
When something happens that we are not happy with, we have the choice of trying to change it, or if it is not that important we can change our attitude about it. When we don’t do this, then the one to blame for my unhappiness and dissatisfaction is me. Who is to blame for my actions? Me. For my responses and reactions to what you did? Me. Of course I always find someone convenient to shift the responsibility onto. But in the long run this only hurts me and takes away the control that I have over my own destiny.
Learning proper blame technique and knowing who is to blame are just a few advantages of reading The Blame Game.
