What is a word you feel that too many people use?
The word that has brought the most negativity to the world is the word you. Pointing the finger of blame is a way to start a fight, or worse, a war. Especially when the finger should always be pointing in two directions simultaneously. Yes,it should be pointing at me, too. Whoever is doing the blaming, in the first place, always shoulders some responsibility for the others’ actions . Unfortunately, our egos won’t allow us to see ourselves as deserving of blame.
It’s the old us vs. them situation. Us is always the good guy, and them is always the villain. When the reality is much more nuanced. They always have their reasons for their behavior, as do we. Who’s to say who has the better reason for their actions?
A saying I head once was something along the lines of “Be careful when you’re the one doing the finger-pointing. Remember that same hand has three fingers pointing right back at you.”
I probably butchered the phrase, but I try to keep that in mind when I get riled up.
