Our society seems to make us believe that we are not responsible for our actions and that someone else is at fault. Even in our educational system, we observe the emergence of Freud's theory in psychology, which asserts that every incorrect conduct can be traced back to childhood memories.

We keep playing the blame game and blaming it on what happened in the past - statements like ". .

. because I've been hurt before, I find it difficult to forgive," or "this behaviour has been ingrained in me for such a long time that I can't break it," or ".

. .

because everyone is against me, I can't help but feel sorry for myself," and so on. We have trouble taking responsibility! We use blame as a protective mechanism to prevent ourselves from being forced to confront our errors head-on.

It is evident in school - "the lecturer failed me or gave me a 'D'; we blame our devices, classmates, and the school environment, but not us. Even in the scriptures, we have a number of scenarios describing the blame game beginning from our first parents – Adam and Eve showing that it is not a game that began today.

But owing to the fact that something wrong has lasted for centuries is not a reason to make them a tradition. So, as one realizes that something is wrong, the best step to take is to seek for a way to correct it – which this book is more than ready to address.

Without a doubt, we must have experienced events in past times that were outside of our ability to control and for which someone else was responsible, but it does not give us the right to live a life of blame today. Sadly, the culture in which we live makes it profitable as well as acceptable to assign blame.

But does this imply that God finds it pleasing and rewarding for humanity?It's human nature to take credit for the good things in our lives and to blame others for the bad things. However, it's important that we recognize that our lives are a reflection of our own thoughts and actions, not the result of external factors.

It's easy to blame others when things don't go as planned, but in reality, it's our own choices that have led us to where we are today. Taking responsibility for our lives can be difficult, especially when we're faced with adversity.

But it's only when we accept that we are in control of our own actions that we can start making meaningful changes. Blaming others for our failures only perpetuates a cycle of negativity and prevents us from moving forward.

In this book titled “The Blame Game”, we will carefully look at what it means to play the blame game, the origin of this game, its pros and cons if any, and examples of people who have been involved in the game of blame whether as a player or a victim, who wins the game as well as the flip side of playing the blame game. I bet it’s a book you would not just love to read but will find reasons to let your loved ones partake of the richness embedded therein.
