Journal 6: Blaming

A lot of people make mistakes. Typically, a person that messes up will not want to blame themselves, so they look for someone else to project their mess ups on. Sometimes, one's actions will make whoever is responsible for them in serious trouble. For example, a women gets very angry at her husband for having an affair. She gets so angry that she shoots him in her extreme rage against him. She calls the cops and realizes how bad it looks that she is there. She decides to blame her husbands mistress, and the cops believe her. The case goes on trial, and the other women is jailed and sentenced to death. The women is relieved to have gotten out of trouble with out any problems towards her. That night when she went home she couldn't stop thinking about how an innocent women is going to die because of her. She had repeated nightmares, and eventually she kills herself. Blaming someone else never turns out good. Friendships can be lost Relationships can be destroyed. I think that blaming can come in handy in some situations, but usually it never turns out good, and it should be used only in joking matters such as hey who took my chicken nugget, then saying that your other friend did it. This is not such a serious situation, but it could still turn out bad. I think that if a person can do something they should be able to accept the consequences rather than blaming someone else who may have had nothing to do with it.
