Blame turns the brain into a machine focused on defense.
Has anyone ever said to you in so many words, “shame on you!” and you didn’t know why they said it? Have you ever felt falsely accused? Accusations impact relationships and thus create feeds.
Whenever accusations come my way, my mind does its best to make sense of them. My self-worth walks a tight wire at times when I feel offended by others, regardless of which end of the accusation I am on. Blame turns the brain into a machine focused on defense.
