Another way to look at it makes the distinction between being cause (responsible), or being effect (blame). CHOICE is at the heart of this but that's another subject maybe. I was thinking about our judicial system and how religious prejudice (dogma) is at the center of it: to accuse and punish the guilty, to say what's right and wrong; to define "sin" itself; to blame and convict somebody; to bring "evil" to justice....It's bad enough that our jury system is based on fantasy, but when we turn it against ourselves and do it on purpose: this is the opposite of self-realization.

I agree - turning is against ourselves isn't wisdom!
