How people are so reluctant to place any blame on themselves. In a world of faults and mistakes, where everyone is an individual, where each person has such a unique mindset, their own experiences backing how they react to the world around them, is it so difficult to accept the fact that something you have done has hurt and offended someone ? Even, and especially, if you unintentionally offend the person, that person has clearly been affected by your actions, how difficult is it to utter a simple sorry? Why is it that people cannot acknowledge a simple mistake? Blame does not fall on just one person or event, it ranges, can stem from a group, a variety, a multitude of situations. The fact that people refuse to acknowledge this offense taken by another in what they have done invalidates a person's thoughts, feelings, emotions, subconsciouly demoting that person to a level beneath that of your own. "I didn't mean for you to take it that way, so because you saw it like so and I meant it completely differently, it's not my fault." Yes, you are partially to blame for triggering this shit in me. You are responsible for ruining my mood with what you have done.

Maybe this refusal of accepting responsibility comes from pride. From not allowing our invulnerability and ego to fracture even the slightest. From our culture. I don't know. But the conscious rejection of acknowledging and respecting another person's opinions truly pisses me off.
