Affirmations

The continual need for affirmation from peers is a lifelong disease that seems to plague just about everyone, regardless of how senior or junior their station in life has taken them.

This comes from either lapses or on-going habits where people hid away from taking personal responsibility for their choices, believing that if they obtained affirmations from another before taking decisions, any failure wouldn’t be half as bad… at least they wouldn’t be considered entirely of their own doing. There is still another to lay blame to. This blame can then be attributed to either another person or even to God.

But honestly, this is nothing more than people shirking from taking charge of their lives, for being accountable for each and every one of their own actions or inactions. It is yet back to an earlier blog on blaming heaven and earth… but themselves.

No wonder history has seen many so disasters and misendeavours of which their authors never attributed such mess to themselves but always either to the “circumstances” of the heavens or the “evolution” of the earth.

Yes, it is true then – “mankind left to their own devices soon disintegrate into chaos”. Though, oh, it probably wasn’t their fault. Yeah, right…
