The lame blame game

in OCD5 years ago

I remember the first time when the news of the corona virus was announced on TV. They said it's origin is from Wuhan, China. I remember thinking it wouldn't affect us here on this side of the world. Little did I know that a few weeks after the news broke, we would be badly hit by the virus and would be forced to be on lock down. Most people blamed the government for acting slowly. I blamed the government for acting slowly too but I quickly realized that throwing blames around wasn't going to keep me or my loved ones safe so I stopped blaming and started taking precautions so as to be safe and I think that should be our general attitude toward the challenges of life.

When something happens unexpectedly and our plans go south, the best way to approach it is attempting to solve the problem. There's no point looking for who or what to blame as that doesn't do any good. As a matter of fact, it is time consuming. Apportioning blames left, right and center only makes matters worse because the important things that should be done, like looking for remedies, are being left unattended which in turn prolongs the issue at hand.
Make things right first or they will go worse than they were before you started the blame game.
