Blame Therapy
Culture has drifted from the time-honored concept of accepting the consequences of one’s actions to the troubling recent notion that we must blame others. The fruity belief that we are gods has fermented to the point where we are so intoxicated by our faux divinity that we think we can do no wrong. Instead of taking a sober look at ourselves, we begin barroom brawls with other drunken god wannabes.
When people are confronted with their sins, they quickly build an emotional wall of self-defense, expressed as monologue rather than dialogue, and rebuke instead of repentance. They feel uneasy living in their rickety beach house on the sand as they notice a storm of questions looming on the horizon. However, instead of checking to see if their foundation is solid, they attempt to blow the queries back with their own hot air. Sadly, repeated appeals to victimhood render their friends and neighbors deaf to their genuine cries for help. Alone, they are left to play 52-card pickup by themselves as the gale-force winds of reality topple their house of cards.
Blaming others has a poor track record of therapeutic success. Most counselors and psychiatrists know that encouraging a patient to blame others for their problems is a recipe for disaster. If we consider this therapeutic truth to be self-evident, why do we give our blame culture a free pass instead of slapping it with a malpractice suit?
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart. (Proverbs 21: 2)
