Do not blame yourself
When other people act wrong
It is them not you
Everyone has to make choices in their life, but some people tend to blame others for their mistakes. I am going through this now. I know someone that has mental challenges that is hurting someone I know. I have always been a strong person, trying to learn as much as possible from other people around me. This time I do not know where to turn. If I decide to let this one person suffer from his own mistakes the hard way, then the person that I know may blame herself. I need to practice this poem daily when it comes to this situation.

We do tend to blame ourselves for the mistakes of others, don’t we, especially when our loved one makes those mistakes!
Thank you Michelle for your thoughts about blame.
For me, only weak people, accuse others of their mistakes. One learns from his mistakes in life.
There is one credo in life that I keep in mind every time I am about to criticize another person: “The way you see other people reflects the way you see yourself.” Thus, if I pass a judgment that someone is being judgmental or is a liar, it is likely that I am judgmental or liar myself. The pot calling the kettle black. So, while it is very difficult to do, I try, as much as I can to maintain a good perception of other people. It is like when we point our index finger at somebody, we have to remember that three other fingers are pointing right back to us.
That being said, when a person puts blame on us, let us remember that as well. That person is merely projecting his/her poor opinion of his/her own self to others. Nothing personal to us, everything personal to him/her.
Thank you for your thoughts. I try to do the same
It’s a good mentality to want to be responsible for your mistakes because its always easier to blame others for it.
It goes the same for others, so yeah … as long as your conscience is clear.
Thank you alibb for sharing your thoughts.
I am sure your gut will tell you what to do, follow your instincts. I hope things get
straightened out for all son.
Thank you for lifting my spirits. Yes things are slowly improving.
You are welcome, this too shall pass.
You are right. We can make every effort to not make mistakes or blame anyone for our problems, but we can not avoid being blamed by others. Only peace and wisdom of the heart can help us to behave effectively toward it!
You are such a wise man. You should be a psychologist for real.
About that, I was a bit worried. I’m just trying to keep away people from becoming strange like me!
