We decry loss of innocence
whilst downplaying our sins
Not news.
Blame is a tricky game…
Better to practice accountability
than to capture the podium…
Changing the world
inside out.

Nicely done, VJ. It does seem like much of the world would rather play the Blame Game than admit to an imperfection or mistake. We are only human after all.

We live in a culture where everyone is looking for a podium and a mouth piece to vent their frustrations.

whenever I’m feeling critical about someone, I realize it is about something I do myself all the time…I don’t think we were made to judge, it is a false thing that gets inside us

I think you are right, Mel. Sometimes I don’t comment on your posts as they are too close to home and I don’t want to inject my experience on yours. Appreciate your kind words and encouragement.
