A rather unpleasant trend seems to be the norm of late, habit of not taking taking responsibility for ones actions, being unable to face the facts and admit that you are wrong, thoughts that there is someone, something out there that is to blame. Attitudes common amongst us, and now showing up among those in place of power.

Presidency makes a mistake, blames it on opposition. Politicians never admit to stealing, its always a case of power that be witch hunting them. If your poorly built building collapse, why accept responsibility when you can blame it on a strange aircraft, and if your blog is taken down for plagiarism, you can always point fingers at haters.

Sign of a matured person is his ability to accept responsibilities for his actions, being able to look at himself in the mirror and accept that he goofed, and make corrections.

As long as the problem is out there, nothing will be done about it.

Until we start doing this individually, and start making people responsible for their actions, until we start holding those in authority responsible for their actions, then can we as a people be ready to grow and move forward.
