it's an universal trait of people to obsess over how others think about us, and we all cringe at any social disapproval. Hence, people work fulltime on figuring out ways to shift the blame onto others, even if it doesn't necessarily produce any useful results. Being blamed for problems of others is something as natural as insects and rain, and we don't even speak of whether or not insects and rain is "fair". The usual outcome of such blame is more social anxiety, and greater desire to shift the blame once again. it's all a fool's game, really, but we do it because we're hardwired in our brains to take other people far too seriously.

Being blamed for the problems of others is one thing I know I can't get wrong. Who could screw that up? It's no sweat off my back but that doesn't make me guilty! You can point fingers at everyone around you and say they are the reason you do things but it is a lack of integrity that makes this happen. They do not want to be held accountable for their own actions. Regardless of who they choose to blame we all know who is really responsible for the shortcomings in their world!!

If you get blamed for something you didn't do, at work for example, then I think you have a right to defend yourself, and protest your innocence. But, generally, I think you should also try to take care of the problem regardless of of who is responsible. Refusing to do so, when your boss or manager already assumes that you are guilty, will only make the situation worse; and make you look bad.
Since we didn't cause the problem, then we have no reason to feel guilty or angry about it, no?
Secondly, in my opinion, we should never try to "blame" anybody.
The word "blame", implies that we want to *force* someone else to feel guilty. Forcing others to feel remorse never works, and nothing good ever comes of blaming people; it's worse than a waste of time.
When someone makes a mistake, we should encourage them to change their behavior, make sure they are aware of the consequences of their actions, and offer to help, if needed. There is no dishonor in solving the problems others have created.
Since we ourselves, as humans, are not immune to failure; passing out blame, guilt, and judgment upon others, in a sense, makes us the worst kind of hypocrites.
Now, I'm not saying that people shouldn't be held accountable for their actions, only that we ought to postpone judgment, and not try to force guilt upon others.

It makes me Frown. It's not "Fair". And it makes me AVOID the people doing the Blaming- because I don't want to hang around people who don't know what they're talking about.

It pisses me off and stirs up hatred. Some people know this is the reaction and do it on purpose. Then when people get angry and vindictive they point at them and say "see I told you they were that way". It's an evil vicious circle. Don't let stupid people define you because their definitions are inaccurate. And if they're accurate you could always change, right?

It stinks and feels rotten. It is not right or fair, but nobody ever said that life is totally fair to anyone at anytime.

It's not fair, but that is life....life is not fair. The outcome is that you get stronger and overcome, or you shrivel into a corner and die pathetically.
