Who's fault?
Who's fault is it?
When I was younger, I was always taught to stop blaming others, and blame yourself.
But is that really the best strategy?
When something goes wrong, is it always really only one person who is to blame?
How did the blamed get into that situation in the first place?
Did they just magically appear there to fail and be blamed?
Did they ask to be in this position?
Who gave permission for that person to be in the blamed position?
Should they not be the ones to be blamed, or at least take part of the blame?
But then, what about the others who are directly related to the person who put the person in the blamed position.
Are they not to blame either?
What if the blamed never even wanted to be born in the first place?
What if none of them wanted to be born?
Can we blame someone who never wanted to exist?
Why give any type of responsibility to any of those people?
Where can the blame be stopped?
Is everyone to be blamed?
Can we even blame the people who have not been born yet?
If two people want a child, can they not put themselves in a position of blame...
...Where had they not wanted a child, they would not have been in a position to be blamed?
Can we say the opposite, where people put themselves in a position of blame...
...Where put there because they didn't want a child?
Can we then blame the unborn also?
In the movie "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot", the main character, Kim Baker, interviews a marine. The marine said some stuff he wasn't supposed to, and got transferred into another unit. During the transfer, his humvee ran over an IED (landmine).
Kim goes to the marines house, to apologise. The marine has this to respond:
.....
It's still not 'cause of you, ma'am.
Some 12-year-old haji had to plant that bomb.
And, hell, you know, if Bin Laden's parents hadn't have gotten divorced, maybe none of us would've been in the (Afghani)Stan to begin with.
And the Taliban, they wouldn't have even been there for UBL if Brezhnev hadn't have gone and fouled up
Afghanistan in the first place.
And the British Empire. Yeah.
And Kim Baker.
.....
I think this is a great example on where blame should be laid.
It shouldn't.
There are so many circumstances for a certain thing to be put in place, that in the end of the day, either everyone is to blame, or no one is to blame.
It is strong to blame yourself, but it may be even stronger to not blame anyone, to tell yourself that things were set up to be a certain way by many forces, and in the end, you may be just as blameless as everyone else.

....or maybe it's all my fault...
