The Problem & The Solution

"We can actually put the essence of neurosis in a single word: blaming--or damning."--Albert Ellis & Robert A. Harper, A Guide to Rational Living, Third Edition, p. 127.

Therefore-- I must damn others, things, places, life, and God instead of me.

Therefore-- I must damn my life scripts, choices, and decisions instead of me. |
Most people will not stop damning. Therefore, most people need to learn to refocus their self-damning onto their stinking thinking instead of onto others where it only increases problems.
Always remember that negative experiences and negative feelings are not to be allowed to be used as excuses for blaming and damning. Instead, accept the negative as part of life and do what you can to help improve or lessen it.
