Blame game causes irreparable damage to relationships.



Blame game causes irreparable damage to relationships.

Generally a natural reaction, a common negative habit, in a conflict is to blame the other. The reason being we carry & have an image of ourselves as the one who can never do anything wrong or incorrect and as such is never at fault. We identify with this internal image completely and are deeply attached to it. The fear of loss or harm to this internal image, we are deeply in love with, in case we admit our mistakes, makes a person play the blame game to save face & gain temporary respect, even if it is at the expense of someone loosing face & being disrespected. This image, which is so defined in spiritual language, is called reputation in common language. The Law of Karma, though, does catch up sooner or later with such a person and with such behavior. Being honest may cause temporary harm to the internal image or reputation, but one remains safe according to karmic principles in the long run & the temporary harm, if any, is undone & respect regained.
