But - but - but! Always "but". Always excuses with you! Always some reason why it's not your fault? I have news for you, Dennis Doyle from downstairs. It's *ALL* your fault!
The brilliant Mr. Ghoshdashtidar from the movie Run Fatboy Run
It's never our fault, is it? Why is that? prolly it's because it is always easier to blame someone (or something else) when things go wrong. I blogged a few days ago about how the former coach of Liverpool gave a lot of reasons why his team wasn't doing well - but took none of the blame on himself. Perhaps if he did, he fears it may affect his reputation as a coach? Well, too late. His reputation has been scarred forever. How the mighty have fallen - from coach of the year to what he is now.
But tt's how life is. The initial response is self-preservation. It has also a lot to do with the ego, i guess. Students blaming other people/things when they dun do well, lecturers blaming the students when their evaluations are not good, church elders blaming the members when the congregation is not growing.
Even for meself - there were many times when i had a disagreement with tGiF and i felt she was the one to be blamed. The person in the wrong. But after cooling down, i come to realise that i was not without fault at all.
I think that the world would be a much better place if people would just own up to their mistakes - because it only then that we can correct ourselves.
