always tend to find everything and everyone to blame about things BUT themselves? Isn't that something that even the very first humans did? Eve blamed the snake and Adam blamed Eve.

You are right about that! No one feels that they do anything wrong given their frame of reference of the world. Anyone can seem to justify their actions, even if it's only to themselves.

Actually in the orrigional versions of the Adam and Eve story there wasn't nearly so much blame. The part with the snake and the tree was taken from Gilgamesh. This is also where Lilith came from.
So to answer your question: No.

I think that there is a lot of pride involved when people blame other people. I think it's good for you to own up to your responsibility. I'm far from perfect in doing this but at least I try.
Have you ever had an argument and apologized, and it goes something like this:
"...yeah..I'm sorry....BUT...you could've done this or that" or, "I'm sorry even though...."
All of that is trying to justify yourself or do anything but own up to the blame. After learning about this in a Christian bible study, I've found my self apologizing more fully and taking the responsibility more so than before. I think it's important to do that.

It's called human nature to blame something that happened on some one else or something other than themselves or a unexplainable event.

You are so right.
If we take the blame for our misdeeds we are a better person for it. First of all an innocent person isn't taking the blame and we have proven that we can be trusted..that's got to be a good feeling of self worth.

That's just like religious fanatics saying that when bad things happen to them it's God, and when they do something wrong it's the devil's fault. No one wants to accept that people do bad things to others by choice, and that when people sin or do bad things themselves they chose to do it.
And if religious fanatics are really fanatics then they would remember that God gave them freewill to make up their own minds. And that the 'devil' cannot make somebody do something that they don't wanna do. It's just a person's way of getting themselves out of trouble, or not wanting to realize that something bad happened to them because someone chose to do something.
