"All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you.

You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy."

Dyer, Wayne on blame
