How can you tell whether or not you're in the wrong? Also, how can you tell whether someone else is in the wrong and what should you do about it if you think they are?
If you try to help someone be better and they either lash out at you or alienate you for doing it, is it your fault or theirs?
Placing blame is a problem nowadays. Too many people do it through both good and ill intentions. Is blame-placing as severe if it is done in love? The social punishments seem just as severe no matter the intentions.
What do you do if you are in the position where you have given what you thought is constructive criticism and are punished for it? If you were wrong and they were right then your punishment was justly deserved and you are burdened with guilt on top of being alienated by those you offended. If you were in the right you are still punished by being offended.
I know we're not supposed to lay blame at all but then how do we feel truly sorry when we've done wrong and want to repent? And do we just stand by and watch if someone we love is heading into what we see as a dangerous path especially if their actions directly impact us?
Trying to make a difference and failing miserably on top of the guilt felt knowing that your depression might be your own fault and no one can take it away.
