The Blame Game

I think I can blame all my problems on my mother. That's very easy to do. Well, now that I think of it, my mother blames all her problems on her father. To tell the truth, it was because her mother died when she was young. Her father had a tough time with the kids. So, you see, he can blame all his problems on his wife's death. How could she leave him with 3 children. Who does she blame her problems on? This blame game thing goes way back to Adam & Eve. Adam blamed Eve, then they both blamed the snake. Surely it was someone's fault.

A few more examples:

Guns lead to crime. Let's ban them. What leads to guns? Let's blame the gun dealers. It's sort of the same as cars. Cars lead to car accidents. Lets blame the car dealers. It works for me.

If you are late turning in a report at work, blame it on a coworker. It has to be somebodyelse'ss fault.

You lose your job, it's because the boss was unreasonable, he didn't understand you, he had it in for you, he hated you from the moment you walked into the office. Never mind that you were a slack lazy employee.

If you didn't keep a promise, it's because you were too busy doing other things.

If you lost your temper, it's because they provoked you.

And don't forget....Katrina was Bush's fault. Never mind those in New Orleans that did not take responsibility for what was happening. I am sure the next earthquake will be his fault too.

Muslims kill in the streets....Cartoons made them do it. Sounds like a good excuse for me. Hey....It's a great excuse to engage in incitement against Jews and Israel too.

Blaming your problems on others is a great way of explaining why life hasn't worked out the way you would like. Remeber the buzz words...I have been treated unfairly, I have ended up on the short end of the stick, I have been dealt a lousy hand of cards. I am surey a victim. And that's how you get through life.....blaming other people for the bad things that happen to you.

Sound familiar? It should. It is a very popular game!! We are the victims. That's our motto. It's not my fault. I am hoping to have it made into a board game soon.

I am not going to play anymore. Guess I will have to take responsibility for my actions. What a revolutionary idea!
