Blame
Wives feel resentment when it is assumed that they are responsible for everything that goes wrong around the house. This is epitomized in the television ad in which the husband is upset because there’s a “ring around the collar.” The wife breaks into tears because her detergent has not removed the dirt from her husband’s shirt. The ring around the collar is seen as telltale evidence of her failure. The ad never asks the obvious question—Why didn’t he wash his neck? –Tony Campolo
Role of the Individual
No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.
Ulcers Required

The Real Education
The man who blames others for his problems hasn’t begun his education. The man who blames himself has begun his education. And the man who blames no one has finished his education.
