The Immorality of Self-Righteousness

10th April 2019

We blame everyone and everything but our own selves.

Joyner Lucas.

Blame the whites, blame the colonial government, blame the succeeding governments, blame the Church, blame the Muslims, blame our parents, blame our siblings, blame our neighbours, blame our spouses and children, blame the bartender, blame the maid, blame the boss, blame the weather, blame the traffic jam, blame the rude conducter, blame the lecturer .... Even, blame God...

...but never ourselves.

I had a really hard time writing the article on *Church Services and the Truant Congregation* not because of the complex intricacies of the subject and the sensitivity but mainly because of my personal position as a moral entity.

Who am I to criticise the church?

I fall short in every attempt to get to heaven, in fact if I do make it there, it will only be by grace not effort.

Back to the natural now, why are we so blameful yet we ourselves are not outrightly blameless?

Your mother abandoned you in an orphanage, well sorry mate, but so what?

My father pulled a total ghost on me, well so what?

Your wife cheated, well is it entirely her fault? And if it is, then so what?

The interviewers were bribed, the government and authorities keep sabotaging us, so what?

See it is what is, injustice is injustice,there's no reason to it.

You were wronged, guess what? 

We've all been wronged, now move on mate, fight for what's yours or shut up about it.

It's my fault, it's his fault, it's their fault, it's everyones fault but never yours.

It's your fault, his or her fault but never mine.

I might demand more from the government, from the church, from the opposite sex, from my friends, from my neighbors, from my cows and hen but it's pointless if I don't demand at least the same or more from myself.

Now if I ruined your day, move on mate.

It's not my fault!

Adam: It was Eves' fault, and the snakes' too.
