Often times, when things go wrong in a relationship, friendship, or just life in general, one tends to put the blame on someone or something. It is so much easier to place the blame on someone or something rather than doing what actually in some cases should be done. Sometimes the lense must be turned inward and take responsibility for our actions. Although the actions may have been influenced or provoked, ultimately one is responsible for his/her own actions. So, one cannot always be so quick to place blame unless he or she has taken a look within. This is not always the case, but there are certain situations that could have been avoided, had another path of action been chosen.
