E-scapegoat
I tend to mention "blame" a lot. I have the firm opinion that we all need something, or someone to blame, like a natural urge. It goes with having things explained. When the plain explaination isn't enough we need to blame something, make something the scapegoat. I'm speaking in rather general terms as using examples would give away too much of my innner self.
There is something handy in this. To get out of trouble you can take the blame for things which you know aren't your fault and by being the bad person you can get away with other things. By simply saying "It's all my fault" you get power from negativity. Negative forces can be quite strong Fear lives in that and it's amazing what fear can make us do. By claiming the blame we can also try to raise ourselves over that fear and become the things we run from.
Alright, some kind of example, my fear of the dark makes me a night owl. At least that's how I would like to see it as explained. There's no point in me trying to hide from the dark, it's better to just embrace it and make it mine and a part of the things others identify me with. I can't be afraid of something that defines me, right?
So, with that in mind I also find an escape in taking the blame, plus I make myself feel better by knowing I'm misjudged, it seperates me and creates that distance I'm oh so fond of. Knowing this, why don't more people, nations, organizations or groups take the blame?
Sometimes it's all we need. Looking at the bigger pictures, or well the political aspect, what if countries that have invaded other simply said "We were wrong, we're sorry" or if a big company said "We didn't think ahead, we did you wrong" how would the climate change? I'm sure it would. Being stubborn and claiming your own right gets tideous after a while. You tend to be better liked if you don't come off as the fraud pretending to have no faults.
So use the e-scapegoat pattern to get your way. Being forgiven for things you didn't do is divine.
