Who to Blame
Folder:
Learning from the Past There must be
something wrong with
how I was raised
when I immediately
jump to find who
to blame when
anything goes wrong.
It's a bit of a
defense mechanism
where someone needs
to be found at fault
in order to move on.
But at the end
of the day,
no one is responsible;
mistakes happen
and accidents
are forgiven.
I cherish the thought process
I cherish the thought process that unfolds in this poem, as it's something that, I think, most of us must consciously train ourselves out of. That can be a lifelong process towards anything vaguely resembling perfection, of course, but it seems to be one of the most valuable ways to grow. I might only waiver from your poem's sentiments in terms of "responsibility", as I think we should much more often embrace responsibility and much less often seek fault. We can take o share responsibility for an accident, a mistake, and still acknowledge it's only an accident or mistake that we did not intend and/or do not intend to do again. Otherwise, I think I greatly align with the pathway of your words, and appreciate the reminder, as well, beautifully spun.
This is a very wise poem, and
This is a very wise poem, and sets a very good example to follow.
