The blame culture is a terrible problem. If nobody is responsible for anything because it's not their fault, and somebody else is to blame, how are people going to become self-reliant?



What does fault have to do with self-reliance? Fault is in the past, solving problems is in the future.


I'm assuming your question is genuine rather than rhetorical.

If a person believes that their personal outcomes are largely or totally created by circumstances out of their control, they will have difficulties becoming self-reliant. Blaming other people and other things for personal failings and problems seldom leads to better outcomes.
