Here’s A Crazy Idea: Maybe It’s Time We Start Blaming Others

In the world of self-help, one idea always stands out: Never blame others for anything.

Any, fucking thing.

You absolutely must accept full responsibility for everything that happens in your life, including all the bad shit that happens.

Toxic friends? Don’t blame them. How you feel is up to you and not up to them.

A shitty boss? Take it in your stride and just do the work.

Somebody cuts you off in traffic? Not their fault.

Government sucks? You’re just going to have make do since they’re in charge.

And so on.

It sounds sensible. After all, you’re your own person and you have to deal with whatever life throws at you. Life is unfair too and you’ve to accept that.

Self-helpers are sure to inject, “Everything, literally everything is your creation!” and stuff like that.

But how about this: Maybe… Just maybe, sometimes, we don’t have to blame ourselves.

We don’t have to accept responsibility.

And it’s certainly not our damn fault.

I mean, why make any kind of apologies whatsoever when some idiot out there decides to make their own problems…
