Blame

Oscar Wilde once wrote, it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you place the blame.

Blame is often what we do, when we don't want to take responsibility for our actions. Again, there are cases when it is not true. But it's true, more often than not.
In politics this is pretty clear.
Our current economic situation.
Dems blame republicans. and vice verse. The truths is both are to blame.
everyday joe six pack :-) blames politicians. politicians privately blame joe six pack.
The truth: we are all to blame.

to deny this keeps us from an actual solution. blame doesn't change things, it only leads to more of the same.

blame is the game we play when we feel like telling the truth might cost us something.
Telling the truth, taking responsibility always costs you something. Perhaps that's why so few people do it.

Blame isn't just the game of politics, it also finds itself in our marriages, our work, our families, our singleness, our grief, and our understanding of self.

Blame is what we do when we have nothing else to bring to the solution.

You and I can spend a lot of time complaining about politics, but citizenship, discipleship, personhood means something more than blame.

that's all for now. just some random thoughts
