Blame

It is human nature to blame. We blame the environment, the circumstances, the people, and anything else we can think of to protect ourselves. Instead of taking responsibility, we scramble to find some comfortable ground.

Although it feels better to point a finger at someone else, we really should not be blaming. Blame is of no use. Whatever has happened has happened. No amount of blame will help. We should look to where the problem or mistake was and rectify it. And if it was our fault, we should own up to it.

The search for someone to blame is easy. Rightly or not, you can always find someone to blame. But the truth is, we have no one to blame but ourselves. Even so, we shouldn’t be too harsh on ourselves. We are not perfect. We make mistakes and we probably have to pay for the mistakes. So, instead of blaming ourselves, we should learn from our mistakes.

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won’t succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy. - Wayne Dyer

You can’t blame your opponents for applying a strategy that beats your brains out with regularity. - Bill Clinton

The search for a scapegoat is the easiest of all hunting expeditions. - Dwight D. Eisenhower

Blame is just a lazy person's way of making sense of chaos. - Douglas Coupland

Some blame themselves to extort the praise of contradiction from others. - Tyron Edwards

It is the act of an ill-instructed man to blame others for his own bad condition; it is the act of one who has begun to be instructed, to lay the blame on himself; and of one whose instruction is completed, neither to blame another, nor himself. - Epictetus
