The Deception Of Blame

It seems blaming is part of the human experience. Everyone does it at some point, or at many points. Because it seems to natural, we may not be aware of its deceptiveness. Blaming creates a false sense of action. It creates the illusion of progress and responsibility. All it does is moves the spotlight from us. That may seem safe, but when that happens we are left in darkness.

Blaming robs us of the human need of visibility and acceptance. We all want to be seen and known.

Blaming often disguises itself as the pursuit of justice. But, here is what I know:

When we are wronged, we want justice. When we are wrong, we want mercy.

Be careful with blame, it has its own agenda. Don’t play the blame game, no one wins - except blame itself.
