“One of the reasons I love prayer is that it is an antidote to guilt and blame. If we are unhappy with the way we have acted or been treated, instead of stewing in self-recrimination on the one hand, or harboring ill will toward someone else on the other, prayer gives us a way out of the circle of guilt and blame. We bring our painful feelings into the open and say, "I have done wrong," or "I have been wronged." And then we ask for a vaster view--one that contains within it all the forgiveness we need in order to move forward.” IfsWayNeedsGivingHas BeensSelfReasonDoneFeelingsHandsMovingOrderAsksPrayerViewsBlameGuiltIllPainfulCirclesUnhappyTreatedMoving ForwardAntidoteWrongedIll WillLove PrayerPainful Feelings Author:Elizabeth Lesser
“When you need to correct someone, be resolved not to do so in a blaming manner. Before criticizing, view the situation from the other person's point of view. Then be careful to speak calmly and tactfully. Carefully edit what you say before you say it.” NeedsPersonsSpeakViewsSituationBlameCarefulPoint Of ViewCriticizeBe CarefulEdits Author:Zelig Pliskin
“Although my own view is that bin Laden does not want to stage an attack that looks like 9/11 in Europe simply because he does not want to be the agent of Trans-Atlantic reconciliation. I think they will continue to do attacks like Madrid, the British attack, the subway systems, because those attacks have proven that the European response so far has been to blame the domestic government, not to side with the Americans.” ThinkingWantLooksDoeHas BeensGovernmentSidesMy OwnViewsStageEuropeBlameResponseBritishAgentsProvenReconciliationBin LadenTransSubwayMadrid Author:Michael Scheuer

“My beautiful queen. Your entire court is staring at you, and I can't blame them." They were, too. The queen turned to look. Her glance swept through the crowd like a reaping sickle through grain. Mouths slammed shut on every side. There was a scuffling sound as the people in the back shifted, trying to screen themselves from view.

“I cannot stand forward, and give praise or blame to any thing which relates to human actions, and human concerns, on a simple view of the subject as it stands stripped of every relation, in all the nakedness and solitude of metaphysical abstraction. Circumstances (which with some gentlemen pass for nothing) give in reality to every political principle its distinguishing colour, and discriminating effect. The circumstances are what render every civil and political scheme beneficial or noxious to mankind.” GivingHumansRealityActionPoliticalSimpleViewsPrinciplesSubjectsMankindEffectsCircumstancesSolitudeConcernRelationPraiseBlameRelateGentlemanColourSchemesMetaphysicalAbstractionBeneficialHuman Actions Author:Edmund Burke
“Anticipating attacks, I should like to emphasize that I do not subscribe to the myths propagated by enemies of Israel and I am not blaming Jews for anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism predates the birth of Israel. Neither Israel's policies nor the critics of those policies should be held responsible for anti-Semitism. At the same time, I do believe that attitudes toward Israel are influenced by Israel's policies, and attitudes toward the Jewish community are influenced by the pro-Israel lobby's success in suppressing divergent views.” ShouldBelieveCommunityViewsAttitudeEnemyPolicyBirthResponsibleBlameCriticsJewIsraelMythDivergentAnti SemitismSuppressingJewish Community Author:George Soros
