From my limited experience as a psychotherapist, vast numbers of people avoid taking THEIR responsibility. It's safer to let someone else be responsible for all sorts of reasons.

When things aren't ok, it'll be someone else's fault (blessed relief), we won't be criticised or blamed, we won't feel bad about ourselves, we can get on with being critical of them , of the other.

It gives us licence to be victims, to feel helpless, even to be fatalistic. Not to mention a ready outlet for our anger.

We think we'll be in less danger. While simultaneously being frightened of all the evil in the world.

And if we're in a situation like working for a government department,or a a corporation, or for somebody else; or reliant on government (through benefits, tax concessions, subsidies, grants, government contracts,and so on), then we'll be looked after, and let others make the big(ger) decisions.

We don't want to know, either, how much we create our world.

may I , well i just will, recommend "Listen,Little Man" by Wilhelm Reich. About how we imprison ourselves.


Disheartening to think it is "civilised", "cultured" societies that have done some of the worst we've seen in the world.

(I could write a book :-)????)
