Blame

Everyone has been blamed for something at some point in their life that they did not do. We have all been in this situation and we have all been blamed for things that we are responsible for. I hate it when people do not own up to something that they have actually done. When you are blamed for something that you have done, you should have the courage to own up to it. Despite what is right, most people will deny doing something wrong unless there is one hundred percent proof that they have done it. I think that this happens in the world all the time. Blame takes place in school, politics, and sports. If something unexpected goes wrong, it is human nature to blame someone or something else for the problem. It does not cross most people's minds that it may have been he or she that made the mistake. Instead it is much easier to blame someone else than it is to take responsibility for one's actions. I hear this all the time in sports. If a team loses a close game, it was the ref's fault. You hear about teams getting "homered" all the time. If someone gets beat at something, the opponent was either cheating or playing dirty. These excuses are very common and if you play sports or are a competitive person, you will most likely hear them more than once. People blame their troubles on someone or something way too often. I think much higher of people who have the courage to stand up and say they made a mistake. It is very easy to blame something else or to make an excuse. It is not so easy to admit that you were at fault, but you will sleep better and will have a clear conscious if you do so.
Blame takes place everywhere and there is nothing that will stop that. We should all try to cut down on excuses and strive to take more responsibility for our actions.
