Responsibility vs. Blame

BlackDragon
February 14, 2019

One of my core philosophies, and one Iâve spoken about a great deal for a very long time, is the concept (and reality) that everything in your life is your fault.

It really is. Assuming youâre an adult, everything in your life is your fault. Itâs not your parentsâ fault, your roommateâs fault, your bossâs fault, your girlfriendâs fault, your ex-wifeâs fault, or any other person in your life youâre trying to blame for your problems. No. Itâs your fucking fault.

If youâre a right-wing guy, your problems are not liberalsâ fault, SJWâs fault, the news mediaâs fault, black/Hispanic/Muslimsâ fault, or whatever.  No. Itâs your fucking fault.

If youâre a left-wing guy, your problems arenât Trumpâs fault, rich peopleâs fault, the NRAâs fault, the military industrial complexâs fault, or whatever. No. Itâs your fucking fault.

To show Iâm being objective, Iâll even attack my own here. If youâre a libertarian, your problems arenât the governmentâs fault, stupid peopleâs fault, or the Illuminatiâs fault. Nope. Theyâre your fucking fault.

If youâre a red pill / manosphere kind of guy, your problems arenât womensâ fault, feministsâ fault, hypergamyâs fault, or anti-man lawsâ fault. Nope. Theyâre your fucking fault.

No one elseâs fault, motherfucker. Just you. Your fault.

When I first posted an article about this, a lot of people got really mad, as you might expect. Read it right here. (Seriously. Read it. This article is a âpart twoâ to that one.)

I expect more rage from this article.

This is because itâs easier to blame other people or entities for your problems instead of looking in the mirror and blaming yourself. The problem with blaming external factors for your problems is that not only is it factually inaccurate, but it will forever limit the amount of happiness and fulfillment you can experience.

One of the challenges with people when they first hear this concept is a little confusion over the word âfault.â

The word âfault,â at least in this context, breaks down into two subcategories: responsibility and blame.

If youâre reckless and stupid, and youâre swinging a sharpened sword around in the junk yard one day (just go with me on this), and you accidentally cut off your own hand, itâs your fault. The blame goes to you since youâre the one who did it. The responsibility also goes to you since itâs your hand. So itâs your fault. Most clear-thinking people arenât going to argue with this.

But now letâs say youâre walking along in the junk yard one fine sunny day, minding your own business, and a ninja leaps out from a wreaked car, chops off your hand with his sword, and then vanishes back into the shadows.

Now things get a little complicated in terms of âfault.â Whoâs fault is it?

Youâd probably say itâs the ninjaâs fault. But wait! Itâs not that simple.

Letâs say that after the ninja vanishes, as blood is gushing out of your wrist, I come up to you and say, âHey, you need to get a tourniquet on that thing right now and you need to go to the hospital.â

Then you reply, âWhat the fuck man? This isnât my fault! I didnât do this! It was that fucking ninjaâs fault! I was just minding my own business! I didnât do anything!â

Then I say, âUm⦠yeah, you need to get your ass moving to the hospital, dude. See that growing puddle of blood on the ground? That needs to be inside you.â

You say, âYeah I know! Because of that FUCKING NINJA!!! Look at my hand on the ground! That would be attached to my arm right now if it werenât for him!â

I say, âSo are you going to bind that wound, orâ¦?â

You say, âThis is bullshit man! I shouldnât have toâ¦â

Then you fall over dead from blood loss.

Whoâs fault was it that you died?

Thatâs where the difference between blame and responsibility come in. The ninja was to blame, but itâs your responsibility to fix the problem. The ninja isnât going to fix the problem. Your mommy isnât going to fix the problem. Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders or Angela Merkel arenât going to fix the problem. Therefore, the responsibility is yours.

It sucks that itâs yours. It may not be fair that itâs yours. But itâs still yours.

That makes your current condition your fault.

Your current condition is that youâre standing there losing a lot of blood. At that moment, the person to blame is completely and totally irrelevant. All thatâs relevant is that you need to bind the wound and go to the hospital. If you donât do this and you die, itâs your fault. If you do it and you live, also your fault. Either way, itâs your fault.

You can scream and bitch about it being the ninjaâs fault all you want. But the result of this scenario is not his fault. Itâs your fault. If we had the ability to go back in time and stop that ninja before he chopped off your hand, then maybe youâd have a point. But we canât do that. So itâs your fault.

On top of that, in the real world, usually you actually do share some blame for this stuff. Let’s say that instead of walking in a junkyard, you decided to go walk around an evil forest where you knew homicidal maniac ninjas hang out. So if one of them chops off your hand, then guess what? Not only are you responsible, but now you share at least some of the blame as well.

Even if you think you are zero percent to blame (and that is very rarely the case) itâs still your fault.

Itâs not my fault! My mom molested me as a child!

Doesnât matter. Youâre an adult now and your mom is long gone. Itâs your responsibly. Your current condition is your fault. What are you going to do about it?

Itâs not my fault! Iâm short! Iâm only 5â4â!

Doesnât matter. Itâs your responsibly. Your current condition (your sex life, your income, etc) is your fault. What are you going to do about it?

Itâs not my fault! I was bullied when I was a kid!

Doesnât matter. Youâre an adult now and those bullies are long gone. Itâs your responsibly. Your current condition is your fault. What are you going to do about it?

Itâs not my fault! My roommate stole $600 from me!

Bullshit. You didnât have to have a roommate. You chose to do that. You didnât have to have him as a roommate. You chose that. Regardless, the money is gone now. Itâs your responsibly. Your current condition is your fault. What are you going to do about it?

And so on.

Not only do you usually share some blame, even if you think you have zero blame, it doesnât matter. Itâs still your responsibly. Your current condition is your fault.

Thatâs why everything in your life is your fault.
