Your problem or their problem?

If we accept that our actions are ours, we must also accept that other people’s actions are theirs. Rather than spending all this time assigning blame, we can instead blame no one. That things do just happen. Accept it with responsibility and grace if it is in our control. If it is someone else’s, then set it straight. If it isn’t possible, then repair what you can. And if you still can’t repair it, where does blaming someone help the situation? Blaming is an easy lever to pull when our efforts to fix things go unnoticed. But it is a poison that only negatively affects our outlook on people and the world around us.
