The Blame Mentality

There were several occasions that we have been accused of blaming the system to justify poverty, crime and sloth, making an article addressing this issue necessary.

Claim #1, participation in politics and various activities to call for ethical, green policies and so on are good. But they are NOT ENOUGH.

Claim #2, our socio-economic system as a whole is flawed. Working things on any lower levels, such as politics, will only address the symptoms.

Claim #3, we do not hold that criminals or lazy people are justified to be so in the current flawed system. What we are saying, is that the current system tip the balance to encouraging such people, causing a lot of damage to the health of the society.

Claim #4, by changing the system, the balance is restored, and hence people can act truer to their hearts.

Claim #5, we believe that people, in general, are great in hearts and intentions.

Claim #6, the system CAN be changed.

Very often, in discussion, people keep accusing us on blaming the system, so much so that we are beginning to question, “Are you the one holding the blame mentality, blaming the victims, criminals and sloths, so that you don't have to be held responsible at all?”

We do not believe in blaming the system nor the people. If we do, we'd be ranting on and on about injustice, without doing anything. We believe in finding out the root causes of problems and work on solving them.

For the knowledge of all, we are doing all we can, finding all cracks and crevices within our access to affecting changes, at any level possible for us. As it is, we are working on the first phase, which is to develop a coherent alternative system. Concurrently, we are also working on creating abundance in food sources. Our reach and effect may be small now but we are doing something. Other people are doing other things that we know can be very useful for society in the future too.

Let us reiterate:
We are telling you that we think the system is flawed. We want to change it. And we are working toward changing the system.
So, please, no blame mentality. We don't have time for that. The clock is ticking, the world is closing in on destruction beyond return as it is. DO SOMETHING!
