Day 136: Blametown


One of my biggest peeves is when people blame others for their mistakes. I think we all do it a little bit, sometimes subconsciously. We don't want to admit that something might just be our fault. But some people will chronically fall victim to this, never taking responsibility or realizing that they may be the ones who are doing things wrong. It ends up hurting everyone. No bueno.

Like I said, I'm sure I've done it before. Sometimes it really sucks to be the one at fault. But it's the sign of a mature person when you can admit that you've made a mistake and take the necessary steps to set everything right.

It also helps you assess your own personality and character faults and helps you work on them. So that's cool. Kinda like a bonus.

I wish I could deal with guilt like you
Then I'd never feel bad for all these things I've done

Song: "Lacrymosa" by Evanescence. Gothic rock. Heavy use of orchestral strings in this song, mixed with swirling electric riffs and haunting choral chants. Thematically it's relevant to the blog post. It's inspired by and and based on Mozart's Requiem. It's a really cool and intelligent song from a band not always known for their songwriting. Definitely a highlight of their career.
