Roxanne,

You wrote, "We need to quit blaming individuals, including ourselves."

I'll go a step further: We need to quit blaming.

When I blame someone, I give them all of my power. By blaming, I'm saying, "I
can't have what I want unless you change." I think it works the same way if I
blame culture, or the system, or even myself. Blame leaves me frozen and
helpless.

Dale
