Blame, to me – is a lifeline for lovers
of victimhood
“It’s not our fault- it’s theirs!”..they bleat
as chaos escorts them in the streets
“Forgive us!”….isn’t a phrase you’ll ever hear
neither coming from their lips
nor tapping on your ear

That is sad if we can’t find a way out of victimhood. Blaming others is the easy answer but this means not being responsible for our actions.

Interesting especially in light of the Catholic convention of Priests sexually abusing minors in their care. Some will never forgive and all will never forget!

It’s a tough cycle to break. Everyone these days would rather fix blame on someone/something rather than fix the problems.

Some people do love to remain the victim. Gives them an unhealthy hold over others. Well said with brevity V.
