Shouldn’t We Blame Ourselves?
Hi again!
Well, I don’t mind telling you how much happier I am having my Friendly Unicorn back today! I missed him watching over the proceedings yesterday! First of all let me say, Happy First day of Spring! Mine was a bit unusual, hail the size of golf balls here this morning!
That said and done, I guess I am in a mood today! My day started out…different would be a good word! Good…but different just the same! I’m going to have to get on my soap box today and say I am REALLY TIRED of people not taking responsibility for themselves and the things that they do!
People are always making excuses for what they do and blaming someone or something for their bad behavior! Today I heard that playing race car video games are now blamed for bad driving! Not only bad driving but road rage as well!
That is just like certain music MAKES people take drugs, certain movies Make people become serial killers, rapist, robbers etc., certain foods, like “Twinkies”, MAKE people become assassins, certain herbs MAKE people have unusual sexual orientations and do strange things in the bedroom department, need I go on?
Always some excuse for bad behavior! And the bad part about it is, that in today’s world, half of the time, people get away with their wrongdoings!
Music for instance, I’ve listened to a lot of music in my time. I enjoy all types of music, but I must admit that some of my stronger musical tastes lean toward the “naughty”, down and dirty type, where when you dance you are suggestive to put it mildly, but I in no way blame those people and their songs for the “naughty” things that I do. The songs that I enjoy the most do not Make me go out and do drugs, kill or maim people, have unusual sexual habits, drive bad, have road rage or anything else! No! If and when I do something that I shouldn’t do I don’t say, “well so and so song made me do it”! I did it, plain and simple!
Goodness knows I am No Saint! I do plenty wrong and I do not enjoy being in trouble any more than anyone else! I’m not that crazy! But I know that it is not logical to say that someone or something else made me do something wrong!
And as much as I hate to admit it, I do not blame the wrongdoers for blaming their bad behavior on something else! I probably would to if I thought there was a snowballs chance of getting away with blaming something else!
The ones that really get on my last nerve is the do gooders that are out there saying how bad music, movies, video games or anything else they can come up with is the cause of all of our problems in the world!
What about them? I am sure that they were young once, and upon being young they watched the same movies that everyone else did, listened to the same music and played the same games. I am sure that those people have “experimented” with different behaviors.
I think that it is high time that we put the blame where it lays, with the individual! We have all seen the same movies, heard to the same music, seen the same advertisements on television and played the same games. Yet not all of us are serial killers, sexual deviants, drug addicts or road ragers!
This world is filled with many good people that enjoy the same things that bad people do, they just do not choose to act in the same way!
So I say, why don’t we start putting the blame where it belongs, with the individual, not society! When we do something wrong…Shouldn’t We Blame Ourselves?
Well, that’s all for me today, I’m sure you are all glad to hear that! I’ll be back tomorrow with some better idea’s, I hope!

Hi Izzy!
My Fault?? Why are you picking on me today? Why did this give you a headache? It’s these other fools in the world that try to get away with stuff and blame everything else, not me!! In fact I got a headache when I heard about the race car video games!! So, I just passed mine on to you!! See how we are so joined together?
