The importance of finding a scapegoat...

Why should a person find a scapegoat? There are a number of reasons for doing so after I carefully thought about it...
1. You can attribute all the faults to another person while playing innocent.
2. Able to gain sympathy from people around you, especially when you are a good story teller.
3. Can help to save face, providing an excuse for yourself in the event you find it embarrassing to face certain issues.
4. Make yourself look good and noble, for you are strong enough to face everything admist all the mishaps.

Isn't that amazing? There's actually benefits from doing something unethical. Disgusting. However, that's the sad truth. We are always finding something to blame for anything bad that has happened around us. When you are late for lesson, do you put the blame on yourself? Or do you actually blame the alarm clock, the bus driver, your roomie, the heavy amount of work you have to rush last night... etc?? Haha... people always want to make themselves feel good. By shifting the blame to someone/something else, it actually make them less guilty. Self denial isn't always the best method to resolve problems. You need to really face the issue and accept that it is your own wrong doings sometimes. If not, you will never learn anything from it. I used to think that one can't be penalised for not knowing, however, I realised that if you dunno certain things that you are supposed to know, it may prove to be even more fatal. Like what I learnt from army, "assume only make an ass out of u and me". When you say it to someone, it usually refer to that particular person. The "me" comes about because of the repercussions from the wrong assumption. In other words, you are dragging innocent parties down with you. Better to get things right and find out what's right by yourself because you'll never know how accurate your sources are. When you try to copy answer from your fren and that answer is wrong, You shd blame yourself for not knowing the answer in the first place, not that you have copied from the wrong person or that the question is too difficult. No one shd be telling you the correct answer anyway, you are supposed to find out yourself by studying. Haha... how many people have be doing the right way? To learn from your own mistakes and do some soul searching? There are bound to be some dumbass who choose the easier option either because of ignorance or pure stupidity.

Do you happen to be one of them? How do you think the scapegoat will feel? Think about it.
