Ever think about this?

Why is it always someone elses fault? When did we stop taking responsibilities for our own actions? You are seeing more of this everyday. Just watch TV or listen when you are out in public. Just yesterday I was trying to handle a situation at work. The person I was talking to was not listening. All this person could do was scream that it wasn't their fault. This individual could not understand that they were getting reprimanded not because of the initial situation but their reaction to the situation. If this person would have listened and owned up to the mistake, yes a simple mistake, rather than losing their mind and blaming that everyone was out to get them they would still be employed. When did taking responsibility become a bad idea?
