I agree that most people don’t see the result of cause and effect as something that is in their control. Often we cause the negative effect and blame it on something else. If only we would consciously recognize that our actions will have an effect deciding if it will be a positive or a negative outcome then make a decision.
I don't think I've seen this process described more concisely or effectively:
"The ego seeks to blame and ascribe fault to all others except itself. The ego seeks to find the flaws and mistakes made by others. It is quick to uphold these, to dwell in the shortcomings of others, to take stock and inventory of others, and to hold others liable for the misery and sadness experienced by the self."
Thank you for your kind words, Margaret. How the ego works is difficult to explain and often challenging to realize. I am glad you found the description supportive!
