The tendency is to assign blame to others for our transgressions. There is rarely justification as to why we deter from the right path, and we always find someone on the periphery to blame.
Emotions cloud our judgement, and we seek the proverbial scapegoat. Besides, we need some semblance of balance that comes from being in the “right”.
My husband always tells me that moral victories are hollow victories. At the end of the day, we have to answer to a higher authority than the people we blame, and the scapegoats that dot the landscape.
