Responsibility is freedom and power. When you say "I am responsible" you acknowledge that you have choices and that you are committed to action. You may not know what you will do, but responsibility sets the stage from which you will act. You are able to respond.
Blaming is imprisonment and victimization. When you blame you say that you do not have choices and that you are unable to act. You set the stage from which you can play "poor me" and hope that someone else can save you. You are unable to respond.
Each moment of each day we choose between responsibility of blaming, between being victor or victim, or between living and just waiting to die.
