So
i'm ranting today. It totally gets my goat when i hear someone whine about a particular
decision THEY made and then blame SOMEONE else for. I flip because i just
can't. Like seriously? So you made some poor choices that you feel ashamed about?
We've been there. We've made choices we're not too proud of but putting that
blame on someone else is just plain cowardly. Who made the choice? You! That's
right. You made the choice. You! No
one else but You so why not just
suck it up and deal? Own it and move on but don't place that blame elsewhere.
Lay it squarely at your feet.
Yes,
you asked A and B for advice, you swallow what they tell you hook, line and
rotten maggot, the advice didn't work out for you and you turn around and blame
them while properly absolving yourself of any responsibility? Please sit it all
the way down in the corner right there.
If
no one puts a gun to your head and says do this, you can't hold anyone
responsible for your life choices. If you ask friends for advice, the onus
falls on you to sieve whatever you get and make responsible decisions to the
best of your ability. By all means, seek advice but please think about the pros
and cons before settling on a path
Sometimes
i want to slap people for making that "if it wasn't for so and so, i wouldn't
have done bla bla". That right there is the reason you are an adult with a
brain. You thought it was there to keep your skull company honey? Sorry to disappoint
you but no. It is there to be used efficiently and effectively. You're welcome
:D
"In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape
ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately
our own responsibility"-Eleanor Roosevelt
See, i
even found a corny quote to prove my point.

Have an amazing weekend. Like
Priscy would say, Peace, i'm out :D
miss Toin, I agree seriously with your rant jare. same way when the advice is given and it works, credit is not given to whoever gave the advice.
ReplyDeleteLOL@ the ending...have an amazing weekend yourself. the oyinbo babe try well well.
On point ma'am. Hit the nail on the head.
ReplyDeleteHave a gorgeous weekend dearie :-)
On point with this rant. We are responsibly!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend dear.
"The brain is not there to keep the skull company. Use it" That is all LOL
ReplyDeletetotally agreed...that upsets me very much too!
ReplyDeleteThe dog caught my attention. Great cleaner!!!
ReplyDeletetoin tomato....lol
ReplyDeleteYou sound very pissed. I hope you have calmed down now
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. It is high time we started taking responsibility for the decisions we make. People often forget that what makes humanity cool is ability to wear responsibility clothing. Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteSo true! i guess its easier to play the "blame game" than accept responsibility for our actions :(!
ReplyDeleteAnyways i don't envy the person @ the receiving end of this rant/post... Heads off! lool!
Hi, this is my first comment on your blog post. Though, i have read every of your piece and withheld my peace. You made your rant sound so easy and sainty thing. I must tell you that most of us, even you (may be) may have found ourselves in this position. Responsibility is relative, blame game is totally another different topic. Taking responsibility may not be easy especially when it backfire but there are some situations that you require wisdom to pass it around (not shifting blame) and there are few times that you have to take responsibility for what you have not done. What i am saying is, just look at it the other way round. Coin has two sides. . . you know what am saying?
ReplyDeleteBlessings.....
ReplyDeleteIt is always easier to point the finger at someone else that take responsibility for oneself and ones actions. That is one of the realities of life, you have those who will be accountable and you have those who will refuse to be.
That picture is so funny. And I do agree with you.
ReplyDeleteHow about people who flat out throw their responsibility on you and then tell you you're irresponsible for not being responsible for their actions. I tell you, there are crazy people out there.
ReplyDeleteIt's easier to blame others,it works for me,and am sticking to that.
ReplyDelete*whoamideceiving*
Toin , may I not offend you oh......lol....abeg
ReplyDeleteThe picture got me laughing hard. Shey o ti calm down?
ReplyDeleteBreathe, baby breathe......:*
ReplyDeleteOnly God knows where NIL is hiding....
Wow, I thought of NIL just as I was typing your address. I Hope she's fine.
ReplyDeleteWho annoyed you like this? LOL!! You've gone to give someone bad advice and they've turned it on your head abi? HAHAHAHAA!!

Cee: lmaooo. *face completely covered* I'm not that bad #flees. Welcome back though. Missed you around these parts.
Tomisin: Thank you so much for commenting. I know it isn't easy but as long as no one is forcing you to do what you don't want to do, then you should take responsibility for your decisions and actions. Pointing fingers and playing the blame game is cowardly and childish. I don't think responsibility in the context that i explained it is relative. Maybe you should give me an example please? Thanks a lot.
Rhapsody: I agree with you. Thanks for coming.
Myne: I love the picture too lol.
Real8: You said it, crazy people lol.
