Placing the blame...
He pondered his life and the things he would change if given the opportunity. There was his lack of education, his uninspiring job, and of course his troubled marriage. These thoughts ran through his head several times a day, especially in the evening hours, before drifting off to sleep. He never took much responsibility for the things that went wrong in his life. Inevitably, someone else was always to blame. But how…how could he change things? Surely, there must be a way. This thought pounded his brain during his last few minutes of wakefulness, as he buried himself beneath the covers, finally closing his eyes…too apathetic to give a damn.

| A person this way can read this...but never recognize themselves in it. They would probably say...I know people like that! |
