The Blame Game
"Kay iyang sala, iyang sala, iyang dakong sala…"
Why does the word blame exist? Perhaps there is a good purpose for it. I have been a victim of this blame game but I also don’t deny that sometimes, I too, have used this for my own "pseudo-salvation". More often than not, I end up feeling more guilty than I should for passing the blame or for being it’s subject.
"Kay akong sala,akong sala, akong dakong sala…"
It’s just so hard to utter these words in the actual situation. One really needs a sufficient dose of Courage and Humility to admit one’s faults. It has been my fervent prayer that everyone including me could do something to cease the annoying habit of blaming and be mature enough to face the consequences.
So, why does the word "blame" exist? Well, perhaps it exists to blame others and yourself for the good things they/you have done. It’s better to be more keen and vocal on the what good we have. I’m not saying that we should be silent on what not-so-good we have. What I’m trying to say is that if we apply ratio and proportion on this matter, 1:10 would be the best representation. This implies that for every not-so-good thing that you want others to know, compensate it with 10 good things that you truly see in them. I believe this is effective based on my own observation. So, why don’t you all join me in applying this theory to our everyday lives… =)
