Quote of the day:
“We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.”
~ Katharine Hepburn, an American actress known for her fierce independence and spirited personality,
You know, the “not my fault” syndrome is pretty pervasive – we all have whined. But sometimes “not my fault” gets translated into “not my problem” and then things -- the economy, manners, tolerance – go to hell in a handbasket because no one is working for the betterment of anyone but themselves. Seems to me that owning up to your personal accountability and responsibility for making things a mess and working on that would be a good way to go about fixing things. In the end? The only REAL thing that we can do to make it a better world is make ourselves better people….
