One of the ugliest personality traits in a human being is one that constantly assigns blame to another, or makes excuses for the things they do. "That wasn't me, that was my friend", "I didn't say that, she did", "I only did that because this happened [which means I really didn't do it after all]."
"I was drunk"
"It was an accident"
"I didn't know"
"It was him"
"It was her"
"It was them"
"It was the whole world conspiring against me"
The world conspires against the blamer and excuser, so that no matter what they do somehow they are the injured ones. This person is continually sinned against and they must live having to bear this.
This person passes the buck with such conviction that it is frightening. One wonders if they believe these excuses themselves, or whether they are fully aware of what they are doing, or whether they are simply mad. Perhaps it is a mix of all three, like a cheap coffee blend that leaves a dirty taste in the mouth.
Blamer, I want you to know that I know what you're up to. I realise that because you have this trait you will always win and I will always lose. But know that I know this.
