Generally speaking…
Why do some people in our world not simply "own" their actions and errors? Regardless of the insignificance or magnitude of the result of their actions, why do people make excuses or blame others?

because it is easier to place the blame outside of yourself and not take responsibility. they are fear-based people and lack courage, which, icidentally, courage is not the lack of fear but the willingness to face it.

Some people never grow up. When I see toddlers get into an arguement, they are all about the 'blame game'. Anything that went bad is someone else's responsibility. Adults shouldn't act that way. Adults should take personal responsibility for their actions and try not to turn situations into a chance to blame someone. There are more diplomatic ways to handle things. It is immature to blame others, or even blame 'the Devil' for situations that go bad.

some are sociopaths .. some are just truly powerful and above the law.
In between it sometimes is "easier" on their egos. Sometimes it is out of fear of losing jobs or "face" with others.
And that fear might not be just a groundless fear, it might be grounded in the reality of loss so then that person "wins" at the expense of the other.
This of course is one of the great questions of the world who's corrolaries are ..why do people steal? and/or make war?
Some people feel this started with the "fall in the garden" of course others do not believe in the "fall" .. but still have other reasons for the fraility of mankind.

Because it's easier to blame your problems on everyone and everything but you.
Owning up to your actions isn't easy, but it makes life a lot easier when you realize your not perfect.

Nobody thinks that the things they do are wrong, given their perspective of the world. People can justify their actions, even if only to themselves.
