When it comes to human beings, there are things that feels impossible to avoid, one of those things is making mistakes. As impossible as it might seem, for us to encounter situation that seems out of our control, the best we can do is to be accountable for it.
Anyone can claim be a human being, as long as you look like one. But being a responsible human being, is to find the courage within ourselves, to own our mistakes, without getting involved in the blaming game. Sadly, this is one quality that most people lack, as simple as it might seem.
The level of hypocrisy that lies within the depth of most people's mind, is so unwavering, that it has shattered every core principle of being human, that exist in their minds.
It might just look simple, finding it within our heart to hold ourselves accountable, for our own mistakes, is one of the foundation of being responsible human being.
A human being who find it so easy to blame others, for their own errors, will never see the errors in their own ways. You know what that means, such person will keep finding reasons to blame others, without taking time to evaluate their actions, they will make people miserable just to prove they are not at fault.
People like this can't be reasoned with, they don't believe they are capable of making mistakes because, they are blinded by the mindset of "I can never be wrong". It is such a nasty way to live because, throwing people under the bus to prove their point, is something they would consider without much thought.
I have had experience with such people in the past and I can say this, among every bad habit I can tolerate in people, this is the worst of it all. Admitting to be wrong often take courage and the more a person practice it, the easier it becomes.
Why lack accountability tends to be disastrous is because, it tends to put others at risk. Instead of owning your mistakes and making necessary amendment, a person will focus more on who to blame and in doing so, they waste quality time, that could have been used for something productive.
When a person lacks accountability, it means such person doesn't feel remorseful about their mistakes, they only care about justifying it, how can such attitude promote trust in any form of relationship.
