Fault
Whenever
something wrong happens, to begin the fixing part or moving on part, blame has
to be issued. So, whose fault is it?
Here’s
good news, there’s always going to be an else. Someone or something that you
can blame, surprisingly at no extra cost at all. Notice I said extra. Now I get
how with nothing to lose how easy that would be to do. But what’s rarely ever
in the picture is the impact of someone or something else carrying your blame,
the fact that fault does serve a purpose.
See,
when you accept blame, the subconscious asks “why” and in turn answers the
“how” which is the problem. The manifestation of this is the guilt you feel.
And because that sucks, your subconscious again goes ahead to formulate an
anti-again parameter so it doesn’t happen again. What you may choose to call
fixing the problem. Unfortunately, the past cannot be fixed, at least until
they invent a time machine or discover a portal to the past. But basically it
won’t happen again.
Not
accepting fault and the subsequent feelings of feeling awful about what
happened means that you’re okay that whatever happened did happen, thus you
never really get to find out what’s wrong with you. You don’t get fixing. In
the spirit of Kipchoge, the long run means that you end up doing the same
mistake over and over hereby a screw up a little more often than you really
are.
Fault
for your brain is a form of Correctional Aid but I understand the fear of
consequence. Think about it though, don’t you think you deserve it? Whatever their form of
punishment is, take it, you deserve it, it makes you better.
