There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In life, you can blame a lot of people and you can wallow in self-pity, or you can pick yourself up and say, 'Listen, I have to be responsible for myself.'
When you blame others, you give up your power to change.
If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.
It is much easier to find fault with others, than to be faultless ourselves.
If you make up your own mind, you can only blame yourself.
When you blame yourself, you learn from it. If you blame someone else, you don't learn nothing, cause hey, it's not your fault, it's his fault, over there.
We always blame other people when things go wrong. For example, family to friends, you think they'll stay by your side, and you realise they never do. But that's life.
We don't naturally want to take responsibility for our lives. We want to give the responsibility to someone else. We blame them when our lives aren't good.
The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others.
Psychologically, it's always more pleasurable to blame others for our problems than it is to acknowledge our own responsibility.
