Blame

I can blame…

I can blame those who are wrong and say this is their fault.
I can blame my parents for not providing me an adequate childhood.
I can blame my Canadian culture for me being so complacent.
I can blame my affluent society for not concerning about the rest of the world.
I can blame my friends for not being supportive and not empathetic for what I am going through.

Psalm 139:23-24

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
       test me and know my anxious thoughts.

 24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
       and lead me in the way everlasting.
