Why must we blame everybody and everything for the mistakes we make. 

With decisions comes rewards and consequences. Why is that when our decisions spuns negative consequences, we have to blame somebody else, anything else but ourselves?

In the news today we read:      A man smokes 3 packs of cigarettes a day for 40 years, dies of lung cancer, and his family sues the tobacco company.

A woman crashes while driving drunk, then blames the bartender.

Your kids are out of control - shoot up the school, so you blame violence on TV, lack of discipline in school or the influence of their friends.

Your husband cheats on you continously, but it's not his fault because these women just flunt themselves in front of him with skimpy clothes on, or  because Playboy prints nasty magazines....

Your spouse beats you you to a pulp, but its not the spouses' fault, because they witness violence between thier father and mother.

Excuses are like butt holes, we all have one. 

Excuses - we've got hundreds of them! Such as:  Our parents failed us...our friends let us down...somebody gave us bad advice...our mate doesn't understand us.

The blame game isn't new; we've been playing it since the dawn of creation.

In Genesis the first couple offered God every excuse in the book to avoid responsibility for their actions. Adam actually blamed God by saying, "It was the woman you put...with me." And Eve was no better, she said, "The snake tricked me."

The ability to accept responsibility is the measure of your character and maturity. Wouldn't you agree?

Shouldn't we acknowledge our sins and shortcomings get help and stop blaming others or other things and move on to maturity?  I think so, how about you?

Everytime you turn around, the news and newspaper is reporting stories like this...

OH, don't forget the woman who sued the popular fast food place for selling her HOT coffee. Apparently she sipped the coffee in her car, it was too hot so she dropped it and it fell between her legs, burning her private parts and prevented her from having relations with her signficant other... and the story goes on from there...

But wait, she won.... millions of dollars, even... wow...
