Question:blame goes where blame belongs


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: blame goes where blame belongs

Both are human. It only depends on our mood at the time we do the criticism.

in our society, yes.
but ideally, we should see the good in everyone.

To be short & blunt.... the dark side is an easy place to fall as our physical emotions are always at the ready. "Fight or Flight". Calming the soul takes much more strength & energy, therefore yes, the negative "blame" is very human & is easier/quicker to access, rather than the positive "to see the good in everybody", as we forget that "human" also means "mammal", ergo "animal", even if we believe we have a higher intelligence, our behaviour says different.

To only blame is to forget oneself and what one has to be blamed. If one should only blame, then they will be full of hate and ignorance. Thier thought will be clouded, and cannot make any positive contribution to society.

To only see good is to not see the truth. To only see good is to not see the bad in oneself. If one should only see good, then they will be stupid and ignorant. Thier thought will not recognize problems, or fix them. One who only sees good cannot make a positive contribution to society.

To answer your question, yes. Both are human characters, but one should find a balance between the two. You should see good, but not in all things. you should blame, but don't blame all things. You have to be able to recognize when you are to blame for something, and when fault lies with someone else.

It's human but we are not. We are divine, using human bodies that are not who we are. Forgiveness is the key to happiness.
