+10 It used to be "blame the European immigrants. They're taking our jobs." Now it's "blame the Mexicans and the Muslims." Always gotta find a scapegoat. Don't ever learn letting history repeat itself. Amirite?

It's always easier to blame "outsiders", than to see any flaw in yourself.

True it's easier It's better to take the path less travelled even if its harder Reason: for the good of the world

I was taught. "work on me first" [Same as the prescription "Physician heal thyself"] Whenever there is a concern the first thing to ask is: "how can //**I**// change", "what can //**I**// do differently to make this situation better." When we simply ask "what can I change" we miss the opportunity to grow, instead we ask "how can //**I**// change - how can //**I**// grow and be //better// than //**I**// am now". When we want others to change we become stagnant, we miss the opportunity to grow, we fail to achieve the great height of which we are capable When we wonder "//what can be different//" we ask only a hypothetical, but when we ask: **"how can //I// be different,** **//how can I see this from a better angle,//** **what can //I// do to improve myself"** then and only then can we move beyond the difficulty and make room for others to follow our lead, let others learn from our experience and help others ascend to the greatness we will surely attain

I don't look for scapegoats.

Well that's odd. An entire discussion has disappeared from this thread.

Shame. I did a lot of typing from my phone in that. I could do office work from my phone at this point.

I could be petty and restore it, but I really shouldn't be starting crap

Nobody's taking anyone's job. It's just trash complaining about no money eating from the dollar menu at Mcdonalds doing nothing.
