History is unkind to those who blame. The past tortures and haunts them. Thoughts and emotions from past pain take up space in the present moment. And for what purpose? What is gained?
Blaming comes from the idea that someone's loss is your gain. If others feel bad enough, you'll feel good. If others lose, you'll win. In reality, blaming is a lose-lose game. You only win by letting it go.
What do you win? You win your freedom. You win greater well-being. You win personal power and choice. When you are blameless, you are free.
