Excellent. My Only difference is Righteous Outrage. If your definition involves Anger, I dont't think outrage accomplishes anything and can be a real negative, even if it's "righteous." Thanks for a great article.
Understanding that the person who created the problem might not even be included as part of the solution. So, don't waste energy on them and instead, focus on the helpers and your own actions until the problem is resolved. Blame = lame
I seek to take responsibility for my part in everything. I will take the higher road to make it right, or at least clear the energetic air. This article is truly helpful in offering solutions for working through resentments and disputes. I love this part in particular, “This happened because of X” and “What I can actually do about this is Y.”
Hah! This always reminds me of the tennisplayer who looks at his racket in blame and misses the next shot! In the Lojong teachings this is called "putting all blame on the one" ie. It's no good blaming others : sort out what needs to be done. I jokingly call it dealing with other people's karma which turns out to be my karma.

This one is a real eye opener. It made me realize a few things about what it is that I have been doing lately and what I need to fix. Great post.

This is “right on” point!
The government has been blaming each party for years and especially seen in the 21st century!
And look where we are!
Forgiveness. We have to forgive those that sin against us. A forgiving person doesn’t seek out scapegoats, they work on themselves.
You don’t have to be a Christian to understand this concept.
