Blamed

When things go wrong in life people tend to look for someone or something to blame. No one wants it to be their fault but even more than that no one wants it to be no ones fault. People like to be able to point someone specifically out for the problem they are having. They don't want to be stuck with a problem and no face to it. The problem with this is that some times people put the blame on just someone because their really isn't anyone to blame. People even make up "facts" that do not actually exist because they want to justify the blame they are putting upon the person. This can make many problems for many people or just that person who are/is being accused. One problem it could cause is someone who is not to blame could get badly hurt. If you say someone said or did something maybe racist or sexist could make them get a target on their back. This could cause someone to maybe want to start a physical fight with someone that could really hurt them. Another thing is the person could go to jail. If you accuse someone of something and get a convincing lawyer this could cause someone to go to jail or even go to prison. That person could have their life completely ruined and their families destroyed. That could also cause many conflicts in prison or jail depending on what you accused them of. Falsely accusing someone can ruin their lives and even kill them, that blood would be on you, the accusers, hands. When people blame someone they not only put a target on the person they are accusing but they are also putting a target on their own back. That means if facts come back that you are wrong, your life could be ruined. You could lose all credibility and respect of your peers, elders, and basically everyone. The fine line between accusing someone falsely and rightly is so small that it causes many to not accuse people because they don’t want to cause problems.
