Blame seems so natural.
In the heat of the moment, it's easy to blame someone, anyone, for whatever is wrong.
If something isn't working, it must be because THAT person is a cheat, liar, thief, con artist, crook, creep, stupid, or out to get you.
What if none of that is true? What if that is all your own projection? your own choice of perception?
Then maybe you've found where you're hiding from your true self. Trying to shame someone for an error is not a sign of personal strength and inner confidence.
Here's the problem with blame. It makes you dummy down. You don't have to think beyond blame. Blame gives you permission to be condescending. You tell them off, and move on. But you don't go anywhere. You continue to complain to yourself and anyone else who will listen. Your mind becomes obsessed with blame and negative self-talk.
When you blame, you cut yourself off from appreciation. And when you can't feel appreciation, you repress your feelings of joy and well-being. You may think you are doing this to protect "the truth", but is being "right" really worth focusing on and radiating negative feelings?
If you think that you and everyone else has to always to be PERFECT, you can continue to feel disillusioned and exaggerate any defect into a shattering upset.
What if you could feel good regardless of what "they" did?
