What makes someone uncultured? Uncivilized? Who are we to determine whether or not someone deserves to live or not? We’re not god. We don’t get to pick the fate of someone because they screwed up; because they made a decision they deemed necessary. We don’t get to pick anything but our own life. And because we don’t even have full control over that, we try to rule everyone else’s. But I don’t think we really want control. We say we do, but having total control of our lives means that if something goes wrong, we are forced to blame ourselves. It’s like having a god; we look at how horrible it would be to blame ourselves, so we accuse something intangible. But if we are completely responsible for ourselves, then if something goes right, we give ourselves the credit. We take the credit but not the blame. That’s stupid; if you’re going to take the praise, take the accusations also. Honestly, if we can’t take the blame for ourselves, what makes us think we can take the blame for messing up someone’s life? If we can’t handle the blame, then why should we deserve the praise?
