in analyzing .. me .. it seems I'm the only one that's really responsible for .. me. I guess that seems self evident - at least when it's actually put down in black and white. But don't we tend toward blaming others? I mean - usually we are more subtle than that, we don't actually blame others in most cases. But don't we often excuse our actions by thinking about other people actions and the extenuating circumstances caused but them? After all .. if she hadn't done THIS, then I'd not have had to do THIS. And so on. And as long as this takes place internally - sometimes even under what WE are looking at in error correction and control - we don't notice it as being blame.
But .. it is. Or an excuse. Which is probably actually worse.
Anyhow. .. I had a nice long look at me today, and I don't necessarily like what I saw. Not to say I'm a horrible demon or anything but I subtly try to blame others for my shortcomings.
Something I'll have to watch for.
