Sometimes, it seems as though our whole society is structured upon
lack of responsibility. Get a speeding ticket, blame the cop -
who was just doing his job. Weigh too much, blame McDonalds.
Jobs going overseas, blame the government and not the consumer who
prefers foreign made products over less well made or more
expensive domestic product. Student failing in school, blame the
teacher - especially when the kid graduates and can’t get a good
job because all he’s learned is how to get by without doing any
real work.
I was perfectly happy blaming other people for my problems. It’s a
strategy that worked for me. Now you have to come along and tell me
that’s not cool, so I feel bad. Jerk. This is all your fault.
