The Blame Game

by yearsofpain


Imagine a world where you're free from external distractions. How better do you think you'd do? As human beings, we are prone to blame others for things we can't quite accept. I used to be one of those people, as for any regular human being. Over time, I realized you'd have to be delusional to actually think that way. What makes people believe that they perpetually need to do something in order to prevent any bad thing from happening, that is at the end of the day, something that they are destined to undergo? I'll talk from personal experience. My brother is on the verge of suffering from the Asperger's disease. Additionally, he has OCD, ADHD and surely enough, the hyperactivity that comes along with it. Did he affect my life? He affected my life in so many ways. If you think about it, your location makes the biggest difference in your life. It really is an important detail. If hypothetically, my brother didn't exist, I wouldn't be living where I live now and have been living. No one can know what's best and truly, what's "best" is not even always the best for you. I believe agony is a sublime form of growth. Mistakes eventually fold into something beautiful, much like a lotus flower. So when you're facing a hardship, remind yourself of your inner power.

This is ZeldaIsShiek here ready for another review on a literary work! When I saw this, I couldn't help but review it! It is just such a good essay with such a powerful message that I could not turn down an opportunity to delve into it and pick it apart piece by piece like reviewers do. That's all! Thanks for the review star!

Spoiler! :
That was a joke... Anyway, let's begin!

I really appreciated that this essay gave people the message that bad things aren't always the fault of other people. Just because someone has a disorder or a disease does not mean that it is always their fault and it certainly does not mean that they should be blamed for anything that happened to them. Is it your brother's fault that he has ADHD? Most people would say no, but then turn around and blame them for making noises or twitching and therefore distracting them. If the cause is not their fault, how are they responsible of the effects?

I really dislike how people today will blame all of their problems on someone else and not take any responsibility whatsoever. I think that it should actually be the opposite. For instance, just because Donald J. Trump is our president doesn't mean that every price increase or every economic woe is because of him. A lot of people don't like him being our leader, but that doesn't give them the right to blame him for things he did not do.

This is the same for anything. If you didn't have that annoying kids cartoon playing while you were doing your homework you'd complain about something else bothering you. Honestly, it's just human nature to complain.


That's all for today! ZeldaIsShiek, out!

P.S. Click the spoiler button!

I have to admit that this is one of the most beautiful pieces of writing I have seen. you use imperatives like "Imagine" and "remind" making me believe that you are not just aiming this at the general public but instead at each individual person themselves.
I love this piece of writing and hope to see more like this from you. Thanks for creating such a beautiful and emotional piece of writing.
