We never blame the tailor when our pants we have to pin;
We never blame the shoeman when our shoes grow old and thin;
We never blame the hatter when our lids we have to flout,
But we always blame the laundry when our shirts wear out.

Everything you do in life, I don't care, good or bad -- don't blame God, don't blame the devil, don't blame me, blame you. You control everything! The thoughts you think, the words you utter, the foods you eat, the exercise you do. Everything is controlled by you.

RICK FOSTER & GREG HICKS
Choosing Brilliant Health
The blame game was a favorite pastime in my addicted family. Mistakes were immediately followed by emotional exchanges over who was at fault. I often was blamed, and I learned to blame others just as readily. In my adult life, the blame game has become an obsession. Sometimes I blame others and then am consumed with anger and bitterness. Or I take the blame and am swept up in a cycle of guilt and shame. Both responses divert energy from solving the problem and getting on with life.
