"We habitually erect a barrier called blame that keeps us from communicating
genuinely with others, and we fortify it with our concepts of who's right and
who's wrong. We do that with the people who are closest to us and we do it with
political systems, with all kinds of things that we don't like about our
associates or our society. It is a very common, ancient, well-perfected device
for trying to feel better. Blame others. Blaming is a way to protect your heart,
trying to protect what is soft and open and tender in yourself. Rather than own
that pain, we scramble to find some comfortable
ground."
