Why do we ever blame our surroundings for misfortune? I ask this question to those who are so quick to blame the weather, climate change or the economy when there are no excuses in the circumstances that they find themselves in. What if all those things happened without any external force causing it? Would you still have blamed the weatherman or the CEO for the snowstorm when you went to school the next day? No, because there is no such thing as being completely blame free and it is the nature of the human species to assign blame to our environment for the good or bad things that happen to us.
I would submit to you that most people live in a blame society and I wouldn't even call it a society because it doesn't have a centralized location or institution that distributes blame like a church does. We don't have a sense of accountability to anyone or anything and we blame others for our own misfortune. In this sense, blame has become a modern phenomenon and it hasn't really disappeared until now.
We all follow the herd and the sheep have made it quite clear that they are the one responsible for everything that goes on in their lives. It's just a shame that it is the humans that get stuck in this mess and it is their own actions that have caused this unfortunate trend. If an individual can stop thinking about what they should have done in certain situations they might be able to avoid the problem. Some have learned to blame circumstances rather than self-control. Unfortunately, the only way to stop being a blame junky is to learn to control your own life.
To blame someone or something is to place the blame on another person or thing. This is circular logic. It really is impossible to look at a situation objectively and claim that it was your fault. We tend to look at all the factors in a situation and try to assign blame to the cause of the situation rather than seeing it as a situation that could have easily been avoided. That is the sign of a weak person and they do not last long in this world.
We seem to get stuck in a situation where we are forced to put the blame somewhere. For example, many young people today are stuck in relationships where blame is not given freely. In fact, many people today think that it is better to place the blame on other people instead of looking at the situation objectively. And, they often end up blaming other people for their own shortcomings!
It is interesting how our mind works when we are in difficult situations. We tend to go there looking for blame and attention. In fact, most people are quick to point the finger of blame at someone or something when a relationship is struggling. It is usually very easy to point the finger of blame at someone or something when you are in a stressful situation. This is one of the reasons why so many relationships end in divorce. When there is no room for blame in the situation, the person ends up pointing the finger.
The fact is that life is inevitable. Whether we like it or not, it is going to hit us. We can either rise above it and make the most of the opportunities that come our way, or we can let life pass us by. And, if we do allow life to pass us by, we will most likely end up with a fortune that was never theirs to begin with!
It does not matter what caused you to be in a certain situation. If you want to be happy and secure in the future, you need to learn not to blame your surrounding circumstances. You need to learn to move on and focus on the present. Never blame your surroundings for misfortune - it just won't work!
