Robin's Diary

Why do we always have to blame someone?

It seems to me that, as a nation, we have lost the ability to ‘make the best of it’ and it always seems to be ‘someone else’s fault’ and, in my opinion, that has to change.

In business, we have lots of problems, but the key is finding solutions, not blaming the fault on anyone or anything - and we are heading down the wrong track if everything is someone’s fault.

I have even heard the government being blamed for the excessive heat! Yes you could blame the industrial revolution, that we have all enjoyed, but it certainly hasn’t been the fault of anyone except society as a whole. Collectively, if we, or rather WHEN we start to look at problems as an opportunity to find a solution, rather than a chance to knock, I think we will make progress. This is not a political problem, it’s a problem with society.?Inflation wasn’t created by our own bad decisions, it is a result of many worldwide events that just happened to hit one after another.?

So, to unpick it, each and every one of us has to deal with it on an individual basis, and that way the cumulative effect will have a much better result.?Don’t expect others to sort your problems, one by one, shoulder to shoulder, no chink of light and we can get back on track.?
