Blame Game!

It is an amazing defense mechanism when in the deft hands... (hands?.. err, don't blame the hands, when it is the tongue which does the manipulation of a steady stream of sounds emitted from lung-full of air... The back office function is outsourced to a fuzzy thing called mind, so brain is free-from-blame).

When I feel out of 'good-stuff', just say “I am not having good-leisure these days, and so, I may not churn out blogs/comments like I used to!” (impersonal blame, and yet an effective defense!)

The peak efficiency of this blame game gets noticed during a hectic session of performance like conducting a large marriage function with very few trust-worthy people to help! The mind, decides what to plan first for a successful-conduct of the function... And then, when success depends upon countering the guided missiles of a blame from the 'other-side' (much more than the grandeur of the conduct itself, of the function/event), the first plan of a 'sensible-mind' would be to create a list of 'possible, valid defenses, consisting of 'blame games'). Like... In case the power goes.... 'Oh! It never used to trip/go, and so I couldn't think of a back-up'... and then if the power arrives surprisingly, the reverse of blame-game would be 'blessings in disguise'!(but never the conscientious duty-conscious efforts of the power-supply-employee, though power is never known to have got restored 'by-itself', when it is got-lost due to a disconnect somewhere!)...

Does this blame-game mechanics, the nobility of survival-concept that it offers as a defense, etc... afford a spiritual growth? The journey can happen only from where we are right now, and nowhere else.... And, knowing 'where we are right now?' becomes indispensable to the 'initiation' of the journey's commencement... The teacher or a guide may be a better person to be able to 'view' where we are right now, while we are yet to drop the blame-blanket and view the real image on the polished mirror in front of us (or was it a blanket of blame?)...

'Who is wrong' versus 'what went wrong'... etc has become an tool/excuse to adorn a seminar on how to improve efficiency,.... or.... how to reduce attrition.... how to avoid a revolt... and such dysfunctional aspects, but very rarely to innovate(like, somebody who stood at the flooding river, and said 'I will build a dam'.... Maybe, somebody would think of a 'level of perception beyond sensory levels' too!)
