Blame Quote by Jamie Butler
““responsibility…most humans create situations where if they were at fault, they would have room to place blame on another element of the equation. They are not likely to see themselves being at the center of the blunder. Humans in general are mentally lazy and do not want to look at themselves too deeply. ‘Ignorance is bliss’ tends to be their motto. This way they do not have to correct their faults. They are choosing weakness over power. Responsibility needs to be present in all actions humans take or it is not complete.””
