My Opinion’

 

By Debra Beatty

It is easy to blame other people, places and events for behavior that ends in unwanted conditions. However, people do have free will to make choices. People are responsible for their own behavior.

I have watched the television news with great interest and with bewilderment. Lacking will power, people say “They made me do it.” “It is their fault.”

The holy book does admonish, “Thou shalt reap what thou sow.”

No one has to accept responsibility for themselves. We blame our parents, the schools, the teachers, the churches, the pastor, today’s society, the devil, and let us not forget to blame God. Then hire a lawyer, bring legal action and get easy money. This current delusion that pervades our society is nonsense. A mentally healthy person accepts the consequences of their own behavior. Do not buy into the current popular game of blaming others. Do not expect another to support you if you do not want to work. Life is what we make of it. We do have free well.

The multi-billion dollar court room verdict’s are repulsive. The United States of America is a capitalistic society. America became a wealthy, powerful nation because of our economic system. Multi-billion dollar industries employ the workers of America. American citizens use that money to live. These corporations are for profit but they also pay the workers of America money. Remember this when you are tempted to blame corporate America. To those who want to destroy corporate America, ask yourself one question. “Where will my pay check come from?” Think!

I emphasis, no one can make me buy and consume a product that I choose not to buy and consume, that is until now with the so called Obamacare.

Soon the obese will sue and financially bring down the necessary giant food industry. What we put into our own mouths, we did so freely. When the bathroom scales zoom up, look into the mirror and blame yourself. The first step to recovery is self honesty.
